R U STRESSED BY BEING A SQUARE PEG IN A ROUND HOLE?
John 15:18-19: “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to
the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the
world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”
I. WHY DOES THE WORLD HATE GOD?
II. THE WORLD HATES HIS FOLLOWERS TOO.
When a true believer walks by faith and not by sight, that frustrates them.
When a true believer really loves God with all his heart, soul, mind and strength
When a true believer really loves others like Jesus loved them
When a true believer lives a godly life and speaks out against sin
When a true believer is excited about serving others rather than being served
When a true believer is excited about giving to God
When a true believer gets excited about God
When a true believer goes around with true joy bubbling over
THAT FRUSTRATES THE WORLD!
III. GOD STILL CALLS HIS PEOPLE TO FOLLOW HIS SON.
Romans 12:2- “Do not be conformed to this world; but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and
acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Matthew 4:10-“Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake
of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
