God’s truth, reflecting upon it constantly.

God does not delight in wickedness.
The God who is love (1 john 4:8) delights in
what is true and just.

loves us.
It is because of His great love that He
provided the means of cleansing our sin in
Christ. 1John 4:10.

In what is right and good.
Anything that covers up sin or seeks to justify
wrongdoing is the polar opposite of Godly love.
Love does not sweep sin under the rug.

behavior, and it does not put up with injustice.

10. Love does
not.
“not delight in evil” carries the idea of
not gloating over someone else’s guilt.
It is common for people to rejoice when
an enemy is found guilty of a crime or
caught in a sin. This is not love.
Love rejoices in the virtue of others, not
in their vices.
Sin is an occasion for sorrow, not for joy.

11. In Conclusion.
To exhibit God’s kind of love, we must have
God’s perspective on sin and righteousness.
The better we understand love, the more we
will sorrow over those who commit sin.
The more we love the truth, the better we
can love those around us.
Show love to people around you and
amongst us. By this shall all men know we
are his disciples, Not only by Evangelizing
and Knocking on doors.
