Why do Christians face contempt from the world?

Answered in 1 source

Christians may face contempt from the world because they stand for God's truth and values.

The sermon addresses the reality that as followers of Christ, believers will often encounter scorn and contempt from a world that despises the message of the Gospel. This opposition stems from the fundamental conflict between the values of the kingdom of God and those of the secular world. The psalmist in Psalm 123 reflects on his experience of being filled with contempt, illustrating the struggles believers face in a culture that often contradicts their faith. However, rather than being discouraged by this, Christians are encouraged to look to God for strength and mercy, understanding that such trials are part of their witness and testimony to the transformative power of the Gospel.
