How do you feel when you love God,
and people that you know seem to hate you or don't want to talk to you?
If love is a crime? do you blame me,
or Jesus for loving you?
Jesus was treated the same as, you
and, I for living in the truth for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Matthew
10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that
endureth to the end shall be saved.
St. John
15:18-19 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated
you. 19
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.
The world hated Jesus Christ because
he exposed the truth about their sins. No one wants to hear of their shame that
they hide in their life. Pride, hatred, lying, sinful acts.
Galatians 5:
19-21Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings,
murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you
before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such
things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Romans 8:5 For
they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that
are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Don't be a shame for being disliked
for your salvation that you've received from the Lord Jesus Christ, you are
greatly loved by Jesus Christ and all of the heaven host.
The Host of Heaven are like the sand
of the sea in number
Jeremiah
33:22 As the host of heaven cannot be
numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of
David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
There is joy in heaven when one
sinner gives there heart to Jesus.
Luke 15:7 I
say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that
repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no
repentance.
When you
surrender your sins to the cross and, invite Jesus Christ into your heart. The
world will not see like you see the hope you expect to receive for your reward.
But, Because you are not of the world your hope in faith for the coming of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
John 16:33 These
things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Why Christian's persecutions?
Matthew
10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that
endureth to the end shall be saved.
*John 16:2-3
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever
killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3 And these things
will they do unto you, because they have
not known the Father, nor me.
*Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by
them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in
danger of the judgment.
Paul speaking to Timothy about his
trials and persecutions
II Timothy
3: 11-13 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium,
at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord
delivered me. 12 Yea, and all
that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But
evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Without charity you will not please
God.
Colossians 3:13-14
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13Forbearing
one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any:
even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14And above
all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Love Your Enemies
Matthew 5:38
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth: 39
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite
thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
43-44 Ye
have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate
thine enemy. 44But
I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
