Why does the world hate Christianity?
Why did Jesus warn His followers that they would be hated?
Why have faithful believers been persecuted throughout history?
And why does opposition to biblical truth seem to be increasing in our own generation?
In The World Will Hate You, author Michael Taylor takes readers on a powerful journey through Scripture to uncover the spiritual conflict behind the world's hostility toward Christ and His followers. Beginning with Jesus' sobering words in John 15:18-19, this book examines the biblical reasons Christians face rejection, ridicule, persecution, and opposition.
Drawing from the Old Testament, the teachings of Jesus, the lives of the apostles, church history, and end-times prophecy, this book explains why darkness hates light, why truth offends a fallen world, and why believers must remain faithful even when faithfulness carries a cost.
Written in a clear, easy-to-understand style, this volume explores:
Why the world hated Jesus first
The difference between God's kingdom and the world system
The persecution of the apostles and early church
The blood of the martyrs throughout history
Modern persecution around the world
The Great Falling Away
End-times hostility toward believers
The crowns promised to faithful Christians
The glorious return of Jesus Christ
Filled with Scripture, practical encouragement, historical examples, and powerful promises from God's Word, The World Will Hate You reminds believers that persecution is not the end of the story.
The King is coming.
And His people will overcome.
