The Beatitudes: After Jesus talks about the Characteristics of the people of God in Matt 5 Jesus talks about the Persecution of the people of God.
Matt 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
If you live a Godly life today….you will be a target for ungodly attacks!
2 Tim 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
There is a major attack on the beliefs and even the history of Western Nations in order to rid Christianity from their shores.
The major attack on the Western Nations began when they accepted and began to teach Evolution in the schools, universities and even in the Churches.
1 Tim 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
If you are a believer standing for Jesus and if you are engaged in the battle for souls then the Devil's agents will persecute you, they will slander you, they will mock you, they will lie about you and they might even kill you.
1 Peter 4.16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. |
