Proverbs - Repulsion

Proverbs 29:27

An unjust man is an abomination to the just:

and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

Here we see the contrast between two groups of people.  The just man is an abomination to the wicked and the wicked man is an abomination to the just.  An abomination is something that is detested.  Light and darkness don’t dwell together.  There is a built in repelling factor.  Those who are born of God will sense a great chasm between themselves and those who are yet under the sway of the wicked one.  Those who are yet dead in sins often disdain those who are walking in the light because their deeds become exposed as evil.  This conflict is acceptable and not personal.  If we understand this we won’t confuse the natural repulsion we have with wickedness and yet seek to love the person committing such acts.  We are not to have fellowship with the world.  Our fellowship is with the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.  Our fellowship is with those who are born of God and like-minded in Him.  Don’t be overly concerned if you feel far away from those who surround you and yet not know Christ.  Love them and accept the repulsion for wickedness itself.
