John 15:18-21Obstructions to Divine Good Production:Reason #1: Satan’s Cosmic System hates the believer!Reason #2: We are not of this world-Election out from the World!Reason #3:“The servant is not greater than his Lord,” therefore we too will have persecutions!Reason #4: “The Cosmos does not know God and is ignorant to His Plan.”
John 15:21, “But all these things, (persecutions), they will do to you all for the sake of My name. Because they inherentlydo not know the One (God the Father) who sent Me.”
