Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer.
I’ve heard the case of a young sister who said, “I hate Uncle Joe.” And they were both in fellowship at the same place. Something is wrong when one Christian “hates” another Christian. In fact our verse calls them a “murderer.” In another Scripture it says that no murderer can inherit the kingdom of God (see Galatians 5:19-2119Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19‑21)). To hate is anti-Christian. Examine your own heart today and if you have feelings of hate towards someone else, confess it to the Lord and ask Him to help you overcome.
