John 7:7
King James Version
7 The world cannot hate you;
but me it hateth,
because I testify of it,
that the works thereof are evil.
That's what the LORD knew.
That the works of this world are evil.
JESUS had to save us from sin, death, and the devil.
Luke 5:32
King James Version
32 I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance.
Luke 19:10
King James Version
10 For the Son of man is come to seek
and to save that which was lost.
Hebrews 2:14
King James Version
14 Forasmuch then as the children
are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him
that had the power of death,
that is, the devil;
JESUS knew many more things.
That He and His FATHER would be hated.
John 15:23
King James Version
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
That His followers would be hated.
John 15:18
King James Version
18 If the world hate you,
ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
Matthew 10:22
King James Version
22 And ye shall be hated of all men
for my name's sake:
but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
That His followers would be persecuted.
John 15:20-21
King James Version
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.
For us to survive these challenges, we must be aware of the following:
By ourselves, we're no match for the deceiver.
Ephesians 6:12
King James Version
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
1 Peter 5:8-9
King James Version
8 Be sober,
be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions
are accomplished in your brethren
that are in the world.
Only THROUGH JESUS, can we overcome the world.
John 16:33
King James Version
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.
JESUS commanded we be born again.
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
That we may walk in the SPIRIT.
Galatians 5:16-26
King James Version
16 This I say then,
Walk in the Spirit,
and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh:
and these are contrary the one to the other:
so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit,
ye are not under the law.
19 Now 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.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh
with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit,
let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory,
provoking one another,
envying one another.
JESUS knew so much more.
And has done so much more.
The world wouldn't be able to grasp all these.
Apostle John testifies of it.
John 21:25
King James Version
25 And there are also many other things
which Jesus did,
the which,
if they should be written every one,
I suppose that even the world itself could not contain
the books that should be written.
Amen.
