Fear The Lord and hate sin not people!

We are to love God, love our neighbour and love ourselves, so how do we hate sin? 
1. We hate that sin can entangle us.
Hebrews12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,"
2. Romans 12:9 "Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good." We must genuinely love people and want them to be free of sin. How can they be free?
3. Galatians 5:1 
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." We are all free thanks to Jesus dying on the cross and rising again , He overcame sin for us, we need to keep our eyes fixed on Him. He is our freedom!
4.Proverbs 8:13 
"The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate." We must love people but hate evil. We must not tollerate sin. 
Conclusion: We must run with endurance the race that is set before us, we must fear The Lord and hate sin and all evil. And most of all Love, Love, Love God, others and ourselves.
