Ezekiel 20:43-44
43 And there you shall remember your ways and all your doings with which you were defiled; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight because of all the evils that you have committed. 44 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have dealt with you for My name's sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel,” says the Lord God.’ ”

When we come to see our sin for all it's disgusting qualities, and how it offends a holy God, then we begin to hate ourselves, what we have done and become. But when we know Him and how He deals with us by unearned goodness (grace) and mercy when we deserve punishment - then we understand our Father's infinite love for us. And we know it is for His glory.
