God's truth always turns the ungodly away from religion. Jesus guaranteed that the world will hate His approved workmen just as much as it hated Him.

Receiving hate from the ungodly is a telltale sign that a godly person is an approved workman of God! That's why, for example, all the ungodly posters on here hate KiBL, me, Kirk Cameron, and any & every other Bible-believing a.k.a. true Christian in the world.

The converse is also true: any so-called "Christian" who the world at large does not hate is most definitely not doing God's work, because as we said, God's work guarantees hate against the person who performs it!
