What does the Bible say about the world's hatred of the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates that the world will hate the gospel because it misunderstands God's sovereignty and grace.

The Bible speaks explicitly about the world's hatred towards the gospel in John 15:25, where it states that the world hated Christ without a cause. This hatred extends to His followers as well who preach His message of sovereign grace. As seen in the opposition faced by Nehemiah while rebuilding Jerusalem, the same irrational hatred against God's purposes and people can be observed today. The world's disdain primarily stems from the message of grace that reveals the unwillingness of mankind to accept that salvation is fully from God, not based on individual deeds or merits. This sentiment leads to the rejection of the true gospel, which emphasizes God's sovereignty in salvation and the complete sufficiency of Christ's work.
