It's a love-hate thing


Read 1 John 3:13-15

Does the world hate you? I once heard someone ask this question: If you were put on trial for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you? What they were getting at is whether or not you live out your faith. Chances are, if you live out your faith you will encounter the hatred of the world? Why does John use love-hate language to describe our relationship with the world? Does this all seem a bit extreme?
