Like God's firstborn son Jesus, the children of God are begotten of God by His Spirit and He is their own Father, their Abba Father. Because they have died to this world they are not of this world and the world hates them. "If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his Lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you, if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent me." John 15:18-21
