It Is Written, 1 John 3:15, everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
As most people would probably agree, hate is an ugly thing. Unfortunately, it seems to be normal behavior for many people these days.
People hate other people for various reasons. Most experts feel that hate masks insecurity, jealousy, or feelings that are threatening in some way. Hatred builds to a level that can be totally irrational and dangerous.
Only God can free people from this life destroying condition. The verse we started with, tells us how God feels about it.
It is also written in Romans 12:19, beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord"
The best thing we can do to conquer hate, is to pray for those that hate. Pray for absolutely everyone who shows hatred toward someone else. It is pretty obvious that there are countless people that need prayer. Hatred, especially extreme hatred, can be seen by anyone and is not a question of judging the hatred. They are obvious.
People hated Jesus to a totally unbelievable level. Remember that all hate is started and fueled by satan, so it does require God to fix it. Jesus knows how it feels to be hated beyond comprehension, and we must trust Him to settle at all.
To some people it may seem silly or even ridiculous to talk about praying for people that are controlled by hate, but it is the only answer. If we pay back hate for hate, we are sinning by going against God's will, and law. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus Loves You
Prayer of Salvation
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal Savior. I want to serve only you.
Praise The Lord
Amen
