John 15:18-21
Obstructions to Divine
Good Production
Reason #1:
Verse 18, Satan’s Cosmic
System hates the believer!
John 15:18b,
The “then” statement:
GINOSKO – Pres., Act.,
nd
Ind. or Imper., 2 P., P.
“Come to know, recognize,
or perceive.”
As Imper. = “Be very
certain, or remember.”
“Keep on understanding
this point of doctrine and
retain it.”
rd
3
MISEO Perf., Act., Ind.,
P. S. =
“It has hated and continues
to hate.”
Those of Satan’s Cosmic
System hated Jesus Christ
in the past with the result
that He and the believer are
hated today.
John 15:18,
“If the world (Satan’s Cosmic
System) hates you all (and it
does), then you all keep on
knowing (remembering), that it
(Satan’s Cosmic System) has
hated and still hates Me before
(it hated) you all.”
Mat 10:22,
“You will be hated by all
because of My name.”
Mat 24:9,
“Then they will deliver you
to tribulation, and will kill
you, and you will be hated
by all nations because of
My name.”
John 7:7,
“The world cannot hate
you, but it hates Me
because I testify of it, that
its deeds are evil.”
Luke 6:22,
“Blessed are you when men
hate you, and ostracize you,
and insult you, and scorn
your name as evil, for the
sake of the Son of Man.”
Comparing Mat 5:10-12
with 43-48, even though we
are hated, we are to love our
neighbor.
Principles:
1. Christ was the target in
the Angelic Conflict before
the Church Age began. It
hated Christ from Genesis
3:15 until His resurrection,
ascension and session.
2. Now Christ is gone and
every believer is still on
the earth in the intensified
stage of the Angelic
Conflict, and we are targets
as well.
There never will be a time
when you are not a target
of cosmic hatred.
3. This targeting occurs
directly in the form of
gossip, maligning, slander,
ostracization, etc., or even
physical attacks.
Yet it also occurs indirectly
as part of Satan’s
propaganda machine of
bombardment of cosmic
viewpoint.
4. The positive believer is a
target for intense hatred
and it is not just people
hating you, it is a system
that hates you; a type of
thought.
5. That system includes
religionism, legalism, one
worldism, utopianism, etc.,
and it despises you.
6. The first reason the
Cosmic System hates the
positive believer is because
it hates Christ and we are
related to Him.
a. You are a “son / child of
God”.
Mat 5:9; Luke 20:36;
John 1:1-13; Rom 8:14, 16,
19, 21; Gal 3:26; Phil 2:15;
1 John 3:1-2, 10
Gal 3:26,
“For you are all sons of
God through faith in Christ
Jesus.”
1 John 3:10,
“By this the children of God
and the children of the devil
are obvious: anyone who does
not practice righteousness is
not of God, nor the one who
does not love his brother.”
b. You are “in Christ”.
Rom 6:11; 8:1; 12:5;
1 Cor 1:30; 2 Cor 5:17-19;
Gal 3:28
1 Cor 1:30,
“But by His doing you are in
Christ Jesus, who became to
us wisdom from God, and
righteousness and sanctification, and redemption.”
7. Jesus prepared the
disciples for their hostile
reception by the world, as
we too are prepared.
