Psalm 97 challenges believers with the imperative command: "Oh you who love the Lord, hate evil." This powerful enthronement psalm depicts God's sovereignty, justice, and righteous judgment over all the earth.
• Psalm 97 belongs to the enthronement psalms (Psalms 93-99) celebrating God's reign as king
• The psalm divides into three sections: God's glory in creation (v1-6), God's exaltation over false idols (v7-9), and people rejoicing in the Lord (v10-12)
• Verse 10 contains a direct command that loving God requires hating evil
• Multiple Scripture passages confirm that God hates evil (Psalm 5:4-5, Proverbs 8:13, Romans 12:9)
• Many churches have positioned themselves downstream of culture rather than standing on biblical authority
• Authentic love for God demands more than emotional response—it requires obedience and holiness
• The problem for most Christians isn't hating too much but not hating evil enough
