Loving the sinner does not include loving, approving or accepting the sin. In fact, being a Christian means we are aware of sin's destruction. Not only does sin destroy the sinner's personal life, but it also destroys other people through the sinner. It destroys a right relationship with God. It separates the sinner from God forever.
When we love someone, we want them delivered from destruction, we want them delivered from sin.
When people hold to their sins, they are not trusting or loving God. People live in sin willfully because they love sin more than they love God.
