Daily Bible Thought > 1John 3:13 - Don't Be Surprised World Hates You?

1John 3:13 Don't be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

When Jesus spoke of the world hating him and his brothers he was speaking to the Jews having a religion, any person not of Christ, in context, to John's writing here, was the “world”. Yes, we can profess religion and through that religion we may sincerely believe we're serving God, but not according to John, or Christ Jesus, if you walk in your own self-goodness over the righteous life of Christ Jesus, you are of the world, no matter what name is tagged too it!

The world is a world of unrighteousness, that is, under sin, without forgiveness of sin: our world competes for a better position over others by doing certain good works. They then boast in those good works to everyone as though their good works make them better than others.

But those in Christ Jesus righteousness can't boast they have no good works outside of Christ Jesus imputed righteousness, their works are done through the new life of Christ Jesus working in them for God's glory, not their own. There is no competition in a the body of Christ the hand does not boast of the ring on its finger as though he put it there, no! The hand has nothing to boast about it don't even have a brain in the matter it is but a part of the whole body doing the works of the body.
