Love the Sinner…
“Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.” Romans 13:10
One of the most common Christian phrases surrounding this issue has been to “love the sinner, hate the sin.” Unfortunately, this becomes a dangerously slippery slope that can lead to isolating someone close to you. It’s an awfully thin line to walk, so perhaps rather than worrying about what’s going on in someone else’s heart, we should take care to eliminate the sin we are certain is present in our own. Trusting God as the only judge of sin, we are free to love all sinners with no fear of wrongfully condoning sin.
