"But while the reason for the mistreatment and cruelty is the hatred and bitterness that is in the hearts of men, the root of that hatred and all the misery that a man can experience is sin. Sin not only embitters the heart of man, but also makes him insensitive to the evil he causes others. Jesus died to take away sin, and for the hearts of those who believe in Him to produce love instead of hate, good feelings instead of cruelty"
Let us abstain from sin because that is the only way we can show appreciation for what he's done to redeem us.
