Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 26, 2011

Hatred For Love

Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Oct 30, 2015

To show that this world returned evil for good, hatred for love of GOD. Noticing this, we need to be different from it.

Romans 5:8 (Amplified Bible) But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) ...read more
