What does the Bible say about the world's hatred for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible says the world will hate Christians because they do not belong to it, as reflected in John 15:18-19.

The Bible explicitly states that the world will hate those who follow Christ because they are chosen out of the world. In John 15:18-19, Jesus tells His disciples that the world will treat them differently because they are not of it. This hatred stems from a spiritual divide; believers are no longer influenced by worldly principles and enjoyments, which sets them apart and may result in persecution or ostracization. It's crucial for Christians to understand that this is part of their calling, as true separation from worldly values aligns them more closely with Christ’s sufferings.
