If the World Hates You...

Hearing and believing Christ’s words radically changed His disciples—which provoked the surrounding culture’s hostility. Alistair Begg explains that the unbelieving world hates biblical truth and Christlike living because they expose humanity’s lostness, immorality, and need of a Savior. Ultimately, Christian conviction ignites a life of conflict, because the same grace that reconciles us to God antagonizes us to the Evil One. Yet Jesus prayed not for God to remove believers from the world but to keep us from evil as we remain in the battle.
