What does the Bible say about why the world hates Jesus Christ?

The Bible explains that the world hates Jesus Christ because He exposes the evil works of the world through His testimony. In John 7:7, Jesus states, 'The world cannot hate you, but me it hateth because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.' This hatred stems from the very nature of those who are not chosen by God; they resist the light because it reveals their darkness, as seen in John 15:18-19, where Jesus clarifies that the world loves its own, but He has chosen His followers out of the world, resulting in the world's animosity toward Him.
