God considers those who put approval on sin, as being abominable; and God considers those who condemn believers for living righteously, as being abominable. Both the same.
Proverbs 17:15
(15) He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
We live at a time when all manner of wickedness is accepted by society; and we live at a time when faithful followers of Christ are maligned as hypocrites and accused of being deluded because they have turned from sin to a life of righteousness.
Isaiah 5:20
(20) Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Everyone needs to be saved from sin; God is not willing that any should be lost, but that all should come to repentance; Jesus came to seek and to save that which is lost; and Jesus saves His people from their sins.
1 Corinthians 15:34
(34) Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
Salvation is waking up from a sinful stupor to righteous living. Salvation is salvation from sin. Anything less is not salvation.
