A message from the series “Sermons.” True faith sees persecution as an opportunity to glorify God, not as justification to deny God. We may never be called upon to confess Christ under the threat of death, but we are called to live our faith in a way that shows we’re ready to do just that, because that’s the kind of faith that won’t rest while there are people who don’t know. As we love Christ and go forth to the nations in His name, we will know the joy and blessings that come from Him even through the course of trials.
