The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil (Proverbs 8:13). The closer we get to God, the more we know His heart, and the greater our fear of Him (healthy fear). If we are truly abiding in God, then we should hate evil right? Except, it doesn't always seem that way does it?... Maybe we don't love it, but we are indifferent towards it, annoyed maybe, but hate it? That's a stretch. We must learn to hate evil and sin if we ever want to see victory from it in our own lives.
