Chris.
There are some unregenerate people living in the World system who exist in an environment of hate. This is a bitter and miserable way to live and is definitely not they way that God intends His Creation to live in. The only way to be delivered from the environment of hate is through a personal knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Through Jesus we can experience the Love of God.
