John 15:22-25
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’
Once God had shown us our sin by the inability to keep the Law, we have no excuse. And if we hate Jesus Christ, we hate God because we are accountable to Him and refuse to admit He is Lord of all. That is no good reason to hate God when we are the guilty ones; so Jesus said He was hated without a real reason. Ah, but when we admit our sin and turn from it to Him for who He is, then we love Him and are loved by Him forever.
