There is no merit in expressing hatred - Sayings of Samuel Godfrey George

There is no merit in expressing hatred. Followers of Christ have no business expressing hatred even in the mild form of disapproval. It is not beautiful when a Christ follower speaks words that are bitter and resentful. Christ has enjoined his people to love those whom they hate and bless those who curse them. This attitude advocated by Christ is fundamental to a Christ follower and cannot be dispensed with.

In this world Christ followers must stand out on the basis of their love. Yet the Christians of the world are indistinguishable from the others. They are like the others. They tend to hate and condemn those who are different from them. In fact their hatred is even more vicious and their condemnation even more spiteful. When the others look at Christians they will find it almost impossible to see love and tolerance in them.
