Why do Christians experience hatred from the world?

In John 15:19, Jesus explains, 'If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.' This proclamation highlights the divide between believers and the world, which opposes the radical truth of the gospel. The message of salvation through Christ often contradicts worldly values, leading to conflict and persecution. This animosity serves as a reminder of our identity in Christ and the need for perseverance and reliance on His strength amidst such trials.
