Summarizing John 15:18-25: If the world hated Jesus, we should not be surprised that His followers are similarly rejected. Jesus' message and mission confront personal sin, a grave offense to those who prefer self-rule. As believers increasingly reflect Jesus, the world around us responds in hostility. Rebellious humanity hates redeemed humanity.
I needed this study today. It's no surprise I have my ups and downs about the state of the world today and how evil is running rampant. I'm ashamed of some of my posts here about it. Today I have renewed confidence and will keep myself in God's word because WE my friend, know the outcome. It is written.
So am I.
Today I have renewed confidence and will keep myself in God's word because WE my friend, know the outcome.
Indeed!
