That is why the world hates you!
(Arthur
Pink)
"Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the
world hates you!" 1 John 3:13
The world will not hate
mere professors.
The man . . .
who
is conformed to this world,
who takes part in its politics,
who shares its pleasures,
who acts according to its principle
even though he claims the name of
Christ,
—will not be ostracized or persecuted.
The
woman . . .
who is conformed to this world,
who follows its fashions,
who enjoys its society,
who desires its amusements,
--will not be shunned by it.
The world loves its own. But those
who walk in separation from the world
(and they are few in number), those who follow a rejected Christ, will know
something of what it means to enter into the fellowship of His sufferings
(Philippians 3:10).
"Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no
unclean thing, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you will
be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." 2 Corinthians 6:17-18
