Hate without cause

John 15:25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

Jesus Christ lived his entire life doing nothing but good in this world. Yet they hated him without a cause. As Christians, we are to live Christ-like and that means that the world will also hate us. They won't have a reason, they will hate simply because they are of the world and we are not of the world. Light and darkness can not co-exist. Jesus knew that the world would turn against all Christians and today more than ever before we see it happening. If we stand up for our belief in God's word, we are labeled a racist. Believe me when I say that those labeling us fully understands that we are not racists, that we can hate the sin and love the sinner, but the fact is that the world is looking for any reason to hate and persecute Christians. Jesus knew this day would come. He warned the apostles that it would happen. 

John 15:17-21
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 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.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 
Blessed be his Holy Name.
