Episode 71: 1 John #33 - Motivation: Cain's and the World's 1 John 3:12.13

If we live our lives the way God calls us to live - lives of love - one would think that the world would find this appealing. However, the world's heart is a heart of hate and so John warns us not to be surprised when the world hates us. There is something radically and fundamentally wrong in the world and we are children of God helping turn an upside down right-side up. As good as this is, it will cause opposition and the world will hate us for our righteousness.
