Hating Evil, Fearing God

Fearing God at the Feast (Part Three)

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

Hating evil is the substance of the fear of the LORD, as Proverbs 8:13 says, and a person demonstrates that hatred by turning away from evil. Ancient Israel shows the opposite. They kept the Feast with rejoicing, sacrifices, and joyful noise, yet went home to idolatry, Molech worship, injustice, and unrighteousness. Their celebration was hypocrisy, so God hated and despised their feast days (Amos 5:21-24). They offered burnt, meal, and peace offerings as if devoted to God and at peace with Him and man, while their lives destroyed relationships. The drink offering, which symbolizes life-expending service, and the sin offering go unmentioned, which fits a people who sought only a self-centered good time and did not think they had any sin. Because they had no fear of God, they did not hate evil, and the Feast left them unchanged. Genuine fellowship with God produces a greater appreciation of His faithfulness and a deeper fear of Him, and that fear shows itself in changed lives. God's faithfulness in executing the fixed consequences of sin, including the curses of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28, should strike terror in anyone contemplating sin and move him to hate and forsake evil.
