The world will hate you.

by -


John  15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

Hatred is esteem dislike or disgust of something, when you don't love something, you develope hatred for it... And world in the context of the verse could represent your family, neighbourhood, place of work, business associates, friends, colleagues in school etc

Christ is the truth of every believer, the light of the world, and the path to the righteousness of God. For the world is evil, of the devil and full of darkness, so it hate the truth.

Jesus Christ being the messiah was hated, despised and humiliated, for speaking the truth, even after performing so many miracles, signs and wonders among them... In fact many who rise in opposition against Him were mostly religious people.

As Christ the truth of man was hated, so also anyone who has identified themselves with Him will surely be hated too.

If anyone loves deceit, hypocrisy, lies, backbiting, they will be loved by the world...  If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. (John  15:19)

This is a clear indication that everyone will not love you for the truth you carry and speak, they will not love you for living justly, they will not love you for passing the right judgment, they will not love you for not even getting angry.

In the world we are today, there are so many persecution against Believers in Christ, those that stand for the truth in business, offices, in politics and even in the church of God.

But don't be discouraged, as long as you stay in God, don't ever stop being truthful, don't ever stop speaking the truth, don't ever stop being the good representative of God.

Christ had first been hated, so will you.

You are the light of the world, keep shining, never deem your light,   for the darkness of this world must tremble.

God bless you.

2. Lord, help me to always stand for the truth in all circumstances in Jesus name.

3. Lord, let the truth of your word be known throughout the world in Jesus name.
