We Are Alive In Christ And We Are Hated For It

"Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death." 1 John 3:13-14

The world will hate us for believing that we cannot sin through the power of Christ! They will hate us because their father is satan, and as he is, so are they in this world! The freedom from fear, that comes with the Truth that we have freedom from sin, scares the day lights out of satan. He only has a spirit of fear and he will do everything that he can to conceal the Truth that sets us free. Wolves in sheep’s clothing have come into religion and they have preached that we have sin. The confess that we will always have sin, that we are just men, and our humanity will always hinder us! Notice where the focus always is with these types of sermons, it’s on us and not on God.

As long as satan can keep the focus on man and on man’s own human abilities, our own abilities to serve, we will always fall short. But our Father is stronger than satan and we have been given the Holy Ghost to teach us all of God’s Truth. The Truth of our Father has set us free and those in the world will hate us for it! They will fight us, condemn us, and say all manner of evil against us. But that’s all right, those whom Jesus has set free, are free indeed! They called Jesus the devil, what do you think they will call us? But through our unity with God, they will see our freedom in Christ and they will believe. They will be born again of the same Incorruptible Seed that we are born from, and they will pass from death unto life.

We have been made perfect in one, and the world will believe, and they will know that God loves us, just as He loves Jesus! They will see this, because of our love for them, the same exact love that God has for them. They will see our Father through us and they will believe! Satan is fearful of us. He is tormented by the fear of the power of our Father within us and the lies that he lives in have imprisoned him! They will hate us, but we will love them, with the very power of God’s Own love, and they will believe, and their Father will be God! This is the faith of the glorious church whom our Father has made us part of!
