Although I've known this for decades, a couple of Facebook posts this
week reminded me of the fact that the world hates us because it first hates
God.
As Jesus said to His disciples in John 15, "If the world hates you, know
that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world
would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you
out of the world, therefore the world hates you" (Joh
15:18-19).
It is true, of course, that the world sometimes hates us because our
behaviour is not keeping with the character of Jesus.
As Peter urged his readers, "let none of you suffer as a murderer or a
thief or an evildoer or as a meddler" (1 Peter 4:15). Read more at:- http://www.christianpost.com/news/atheists-hate-christians-jesus-god-facebook-michael-brown-149624/#0FAg0kY2TW8WbAVf.99
