Love the sinner, hate the sin.

Is tat possible?

Well, I think its the key for us to relate to our fellow sinners.
Maybe part of the way to maintain or restore relationships.

I was thinking abt this topic for a very long while.
Many times, we can think of our past sins, and the person tat sin with us or we sin against or been sin by the person.
Is it possible to relate to the person w/o attaching the sin against the person. I think its possible. Because if we do, we'll be judging others with unworthy eyes. To me, i think we have to love others, like how God has loved us.
God never accepted the sins in our lives, but he still first loved us. Yes, he hates the fact that we live in sin, but that has never stop him from loving or blessing us.
Just try for a fact, see if u can not sin for a day/week/month/year. Its impossible, but that has never ever stopped God loving u the day u were created in his hands.

Thus, let's learn to love other's with and treat them with Godly righteouness and not our own.Being self-righteous is a claim of one's own superiority over the situation etc.

Let's try and make peace with the ppl that we've been hurt or being hurt by us, becoz we have failed to seperate the sinner and the sin. Let's be honest and try.

on a side note,

God is slowly showing and challenging me to love unconditionally. A kind of scarifical love that does not seek a return. A kind of love that is like the father of the prodigal son.. Becoz our humanly love is based on how we've been loved or how we've been challenged to love.
So no matter, how I can be 'mis-treated' or left hanging, I'm learning to love my loved ones with an unconditional basis. Slowly, I'm learning becoz he first loved me unconditionally.

Amazing love that always give hope. Faith placed in love. Grace by love.
