What does it mean that the world will not understand the children of God?

Answered in 1 source

It means that true believers are often viewed as strange or out of place due to their faith and relationship with God.

The world’s inability to understand the children of God is portrayed in 1 John 3, which states, 'Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.' This reflects the reality that those who are in Christ have a different perspective and operate under divine truths that are foreign to non-believers. Living out our faith often leads to us being 'men wondered at,' as we do not conform to worldly standards but are transformed by the Spirit of God. This difference in lifestyle and values often prompts misunderstanding and skepticism from those who live apart from Christ.
