"If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." John 15.19We cannot be surprised by the world's hatred for us. This is part of the Christian faith. We should find it strange if the world loved us. In this case, it would show we have nothing to do with our Lord Jesus Christ.

We are hated

Everyday, we are in spiritual warfare. Religiousness, customs, traditions, superstitions are just some of the things of the world that shut God's Word to penetrate to people. In UCKG, I learned about the truth that the ruler of this world is Satan that's why I understand completely that I am an enemy to this world and this world is my enemy. Since then, I never desired to please anyone but I only concern about pleasing God. I stopped following the traditions, believing in superstitions and breaking the religiousness that I learned from my previous church since I was a child. Because of this, I face persecutions and mocking from other people (some are from my family)... I just simply don't care about what they say, as long as I know the truth from the Bible, and I am doing what God wants me to do because those people can not save me but God is my only salvation.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you Mrs Ester. thank you.
Good morning Dear Ester,
ReplyDeleteyes, thank goodness we are hated, but still for some reason, I am surprised when people hate the father so much, especially when they have suffered because logic tells us, that satan caused the suffering (in combination with ourselves!) and yet, how can someone side with the devil that caused all their misery and is responsible for all the filth in the world, it is so stupid, and i just find it strange to me this contempt for a loving God, and yes you are right the world will hate the goodness of JC always but still the venim with which people hate God with their stupid logic still amazes me, i think it always will!
God bless Dear ESter have a wonderful day!

We know Christian life is not easy. It is full of sacrifice and struggles in life. We are hated because Jesus is the one that are with us.In our struggles in life we will be more matured in our faith.
ReplyDeleteThe world will never stop hating us for we are doing what they dont like also, therefore we can not please the people of this world but live the kind of life Christ lived.
