Why does the world hate Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

The world hates Christians because their hatred for Christ extends to His followers, reflecting a rejection of God's sovereignty.

Jesus Himself stated in John 15:18 that if the world hates you, remember that it hated Him first. The world, particularly the religious establishment of the time, hated Christ because He embodied the message of grace and sovereignty that undermined their self-righteousness. Those who place their confidence in their own works despise the notion that salvation depends solely on God's mercy. This enmity arises from pride and a refusal to accept God's authority over salvation, leading to a deep-seated hatred for His people who proclaim this truth.
