“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you." John 15.18The feeling of hatred from the children of this world towards the children of God is part of carrying the cross. The Lord Jesus warned His disciples about it. It is waste of time trying to please God and the children of the world. It is more comfortable to keep the cross and take its sacrifices than trying to reconcile faith with the world.

Hatred

You will bring them
"Then He inaugurated Joshua the son of Nun, and said, 'Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I swore to them, and I will be with you.'" Deuteronomy 31.23
God never asks the impossible. Before giving an order, He gives the person the ability to obey. As He pours out from His Spirit, that person becomes His child, and is enabled to expand His Kingdom in the hearts of those who seek Him.
Exercise your faith seizing all opportunities, for He is with you.

Firstfruits
"Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures." James 1.8
Through the Lord Jesus, the Word, each one of those who are born of the Holy Spirit is God's first fruits, His firstborn, His tithe, His property, holiness to Him, in short, they are children of God.
Do you think this a small thing?
Then, wait until you get to the glorious New Jerusalem to see what the Almighty has in store for each of His own.

THE DIFFERENCE
"In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother." 1 John 3.10Just like light and darkness are different, the children of God are also different from the children of the devil. Jesus was the example of the Son of God and the hypocritical Pharisees were an example of the children of the devil.
To obey the Word of God is to practice His righteousness.

PRUDENT
"The simple believes every word, but the prudent considers his steps." Proverbs 14.15People who do not use reason accept the standards of this world and are influenced by the media, the fashion industry and their worldly friends. On the other hand, the children of God listen to and consider His Word, which straightens and gives direction to all the areas of their life.

HE FIRST LOVED
"We love Him because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19Even though we are sinners and have no merits, we were shown the love of the Lord God when He sent His only Son to die for us. Therefore, when you recognize that love and have faith in Him, you become His child. And because of that, you also gain his character traits.

IMAGE OF THE CREATOR
"And have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him." Colossians 3:10The new birth gives the children of God a new life. As much as you may prophesy about it, it still remains difficult for those who haven't been born of the Spirit to understand.
Knowledgeable and enlightened minds, and above all, being according to the image of God the Father. The children of God see and think according to Him.

Children of God
"The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life." Job 33:4
Adam and Eve were creatures of God. Through them, humanity developed without divine intervention. Following through the natural Law of nature fixed by God. With the birth of the Lord Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, a new generation of children of God began. The Holy Spirit has been at work with everyone who unconditionally gives his life to God.

My Son
"Then a voice came from heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Mark 1:11
The Holy Trinity was identified through the baptism of the Lord Jesus. In that moment, the Holy Spirit came in the form of a dove, and landed on His head. The same happens today with those who are born of God. They're involved by the Spirit of God and then made into Children of God.

Preserve
"The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies."
Psalms 41:2
The children of God are kept from evil and always find happiness. Their enemies are confused and incapable of touching them.
