Will You Follow Jesus When They Hate You?

Will You Follow Jesus When They Hate You? What happens when following Jesus puts you at odds with the people you love? Your family, friends, church, community, culture. The New Testament doesn't promise that following Christ will make everyone like you. In fact, Jesus explicitly warned His disciples that the world would hate them because it hated Him. But what happens when that pressure becomes personal?

In this episode of Truth at All Costs, we look at what the New Testament teaches about following Christ when faithfulness comes at a social cost. Jesus commands His disciples to put Him above family, friends, reputation, and even their own lives. The apostles tell Christians to test teachers, reject false doctrine, avoid destructive error, and obey God rather than men. And contrary to what modern Christianity often suggests, biblical love does not mean affirming everything someone believes or does. Love rejoices with the truth.The question isn't whether you can follow Jesus when everyone approves of you. The question is: Will you follow Jesus when they hate you?
