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.
