Bible commentaries

We would like not to think in this aspect of God, but the fact is that He abhors sin and demand us to live a holy life, for He himself is holy ( 1 Peter 1:16). The Old Testament gives us a lot of examples of the sins of the Jews that turned into God's judgment upon them. That is why, in the New Testament, we are capable of trust in Jesus Christ to pay the price for our sins. But it does not mean that God is no longer against the way we live our lives. He still demands sanctity of His children, and the Psalm 66:18 is still as real today as it always has been: " if I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened". Although God has no pleasure in disciplining us, He does it because He loves us.
