“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.”
–Luke 21:17
The believer is assured that he will be hated of all men for Jesus’ sake.
“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”
–Mark 13:13
When God’s Word refers to “all men,” it certainly means ALL men–including those one considers to be “friends” and those of one’s family.
“And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.”
–Matthew 10:36
One way believers may KNOW they are in the kingdom of heaven is by being hated for the name of Jesus Christ.
Believers are also certain they will suffer persecution.
“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”
–2TIMOTHY 3:12
Believers are also certain they will experience MUCH tribulation.
“Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.”
–Acts 14:22
In fact, IF the reader is not being persecuted, undergoing tribulation and hated for the name of Jesus, then the reader needs to be taking a VERY SERIOUS look at whether or not he is a Christian.
Or a mere pretender.
“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.”
–Matthew 10:22
IS the reader hated because of the name of Jesus Christ?
ARE you sure?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
DOES the reader believe he is saved?

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
