David Wilkerson – Why The World Hates Christians | Full Sermon

John 15:16-21
16 You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. 17 This I command you, that you love one another.

Disciples’ Relation to the World
18 “If the world hates you, [a]you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.

Jesus has chosen and ordained us to go and bring forth a lasting fruit. In doing this you must expect to be hated by the world but that is how it is supposed to be. But this message takes a different look at the reason the world hates Christians. There are many ministers today that have traveled the world to make folks twice the son of hell as they are. As Scripture says in the 2nd Chapter of Romans… “the name of God is blasphemed by the Gentiles because of you.
