Persecution

People hated Jesus. If you are a Christian, you should expect to be hated too.
But people also followed Jesus words, and so you should also expect people to follow the teaching of Christ that you pass on.

This doesn’t mean you should speak without love and say things to provoke people.

God’s word has a message of condemnation as it points out sin. But this is not to punitively punish people. It is to state the truth of God’s good justice. Saying the truth is also in anticipation of sharing the good news of the gospel. That God offers salvation from punishment through Jesus Christ.

Christians should speak in love.
Telling people about something they are in danger of because you care for their eternal well being.


If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
John 15:19-20
