Proverbs 12:1 KJV [1] Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
Hateth is not a negative word if it's use for a positive reason or positive purpose. But hate could be so negative if it's against God's Word, and have some bad effects and if it's hate for love ones or friends. May we hate sin. May we hope in God our Savior. Hate is harmful if it's against God and hate for people.
I- We must learn to hate sin- Proverbs 8:13 KJV [13] The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
II- We must learn to hate stubbornness- Psalm 50:17 KJV [17] Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
III- We must learn to hate spiritual sickness- Deuteronomy 5:9 KJV [9] Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
Verse to Ponder: Psalm 45:7 KJV [7] Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
