 I don't think we realize who the Pharisees are today. I don't think we realize who the hypocrites are because Pharisees can sound so convincing, so right. And they teach this doctrine of self-hatred. You're hating yourself based upon who you used to be. Holiness, my friend, is not self-hatred. Holiness is not discussed with who you are. You should hate your sin. You absolutely should hate your sin. Yes, you should absolutely recognize that you are nothing without God. But after you've placed your faith in Christ and He's redeemed you, He's forgiven you, and He's given you a new identity. You are a new creation.
