As Christians, we have been warned about becoming too attached to what this world has to offer. Hating what God hates is a way of pleasing Him. It is a way of being on the Lord's side. To avoid what God hates, we focus on avoiding specific sins. This book explores 13 things that God hates and prescribes how to avoid each of them. These include specific sins like idolatry, pride, wickedness, dishonesty, false witness, covetousness, stealing, sexual immorality, divorce, worldliness, materialism, grumbling, murmuring, and complaining. God is holy and just, He cannot tolerate these sins. Since God hates these things, a child of God should also hate them.
When Christians hate what God hates, their goal is not to defeat people but to defeat the evil holding them captive. By sharing God's hatred for evil, we gain prudence, knowledge, and discretion. Hating what God hates yields several spiritual, moral, and personal benefits. Hating what God hates should be our number one priority.
