Jesus said remember they hated me before they hated you, so why would we be hated if we are speaking the word of God? If you are willing to take a stand for the truth of the word then being hated by who is hearing it at times will be offensive to them if they are not wanting to live by it. You cannot put that which is holy on anything sinful yet many try. Jesus is known as the rock of offence and the disobedient will stumble at it! (1 Peter 2:7,8) Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

 When Moses stood for God as he led the Israelites out of Egypt, did he fold when the red sea was in front of him and Pharoah’s army behind him? No he pressed on and knew God went before him and was confident! ( Exodus 14:21,22) And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

 No one wants to see a person fall away from their faith, so we try our best to help them return to the Lord or the consequences may be grave. (2 Thessalonians 3:11-15) For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

 God is not a respecter of persons and we too are not to show favoritism if one is in error, for what good is it to be a servant of Christ and not want to allow someone to turn from the wide road that leads to destruction which many find and seek the narrow path that leads to life? (Proverbs 15:10) Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

God has not called His people to lie,but to teach the truth of His word. Rebuke is part of teaching His truth to save those who Christ died for (Amos 5:10) They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
