God does not approve the wrong conduct of
men, but that he had kind feelings toward them, or was "earnestly
desirous" of their happiness.
God hates wickedness, but he still desires the Happiness of those who are sinful. "He hates the sin, but loves the repentant sinner."
God hates wickedness, but he still desires the Happiness of those who are sinful. "He hates the sin, but loves the repentant sinner."
A parent may love his child and desire his welfare, and yet be
strongly opposed to the wrong conduct of that child. When we approve the
evil conduct of another, this is blind love unaware of the danger that lies ahead; when we desire
simply their happiness, this is an act of kindness.
Jn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
If I did not ask God to give his son for my sins and yet he did, my own and personal desire therefore is nothing compared to what has given. Though he knows what is best for us we should still pray and ask.
Phil 4:6 Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Mt 21:22 And all things whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Mk 11:24 Therefore I say to you, Whatever things ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Instead of desiring what others have, envy others because we don't have, the scripture commanded us to ask.
Jas 4:2 Ye lust and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.But remember, ask only what you need and not just to satisfy the lust of the flesh.
Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Because the Lord sees the way of the upright and know the end of the sinner which is destruction.
Prov 3:33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
