What does the Bible say about hatred towards Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the world will hate Christians because they are not of the world, just as it hated Christ.

In John 15:18-19, Jesus plainly tells His disciples, "If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you." This hatred stems from the fact that believers are chosen out of the world and no longer conform to its values. The world loves its own, but believers represent a different kingdom and, therefore, face opposition. This principle is vital for Christians, as experiencing hatred and persecution is part of following Christ (John 15:20).
