In my calculus class, we like to think of things in terms of a concept called a set. For example, if you were to have an equation of something and you were to look at the graph of that equation and then a table of the components of the equation, the object is, they are all the exact same thing. They have the same goal, that infinite number of specific components.
So this is where I am going. If there are two people who claim the Gospel and the Kingdom of God and truly seek Him, they are one in the same. There is no difference. Since we are in Christ, we do not look at others as in the flesh anymore. So yea, we flee from our sins and the sins of each other, but we pray for each others souls and claim one another for we are all one in Christ. We do not disown a Christian because we have certain flaws and commit sins, for we all have sinned and will sin. But in Christ, we stay together growing in Christ together, not disowning each other but instead guiding each other and lifting each other up so that we may all grow and be One in Christ.
Yes Christ hates our sins. But He loves us a people. Thats how we should be towards others. Imagine if jesus said, "you have just sinned and its in your personality, so now I disown myself from you, for I am perfect." Not Jesus is perfect, but He forgives us as we are united. And that is how we should be towards others, forgiving because we are all united as One, in Christ!
