The Only Way to Eradicate Hate - With God's Spirit You Can Do It! ~ It Will Not to be in God's New World to Come! ~

“There is no hate without fear. . . . We hate what we fear and so where hate is, fear is lurking.”—CYRIL CONNOLLY, LITERARY CRITIC AND EDITOR.

Even the Creator himself, appraising imperfect man millenniums ago, “saw that the badness of man was abundant in the earth and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time.”—Genesis 6:5.
?????
Prejudice, discrimination, and their resulting hate are products of manÂ’s inherent imperfection and selfishness.Â
?????
(Deuteronomy 32:5) They have acted ruinously on their own part; They are not his children, the defect is their own. A generation crooked and twisted!"
?????
Sadly, no human agency or government, whatever its policy, has been able to legislate a change in manÂ’s heart on such matters.

Changing Attitudes
“True change can come only from the volition of the peoples involved,” observed McGeary. And how can peopleÂ’s volition be changed? Experience has shown that the most powerful, most motivating, and most enduring influence against the development of hate comes from GodÂ’s Word, the Bible.Â
?????
This is because “the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and their marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart.”—Hebrews 4:12.

Admittedly, the uprooting of prejudice and hatred does not occur automatically, nor does it happen overnight. But it can be done. Jesus Christ, the great motivator of hearts and sensitizer of consciences, was able to move people to change. Millions have succeeded in following Jesus Christ’s wise counsel: “Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you.”—Matthew 5:44.
?????
Modern-day true Christians have similarly responded to Jesus’ counsel to do good, not just to their Christian brothers, but even to those who hate them. (Galatians 6:10) They are working hard to eliminate malicious hatred from their lives. Recognizing the powerful forces that can engender hatred within them, they take positive action and replace hatred with love. Yes, as an ancient wise man said, “hatred is what stirs up contentions, but love covers over even all transgressions.”—Proverbs 10:12.
?????
The apostle John stated: “Everyone who hates his brother is a manslayer, and you know that no manslayer has everlasting life remaining in him.” (1 John 3:15)Â
?????
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that. As a result, they are now being integrated—from all ethnic, cultural, religious, and political backgrounds—into one united, hate-free community, a genuine global brotherhood. Christian love has already found a place in millions of hearts that could otherwise be filled with hatred. You too are invited to become part of that loving brotherhood!
