And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (2 Tim. 3: 12).
In his experience the apostle John under persecution, is a wonderful lesson in power and strength for the Christian. God does not prevent the plots of evil men, but that makes their devices to work together for good to them that in the conflict test and maintain their faith and loyalty. . .
work of faith is trusting God in the darkest hour and feel, despite being severely tested and whipped by the storm, that our Father at the helm. Only the eye of faith can see beyond these things correctly estimate the value of eternal riches.
Jesus presented to his followers the hope of attaining earthly glory and riches and to live a life free of evidence. Instead, he called to follow in the path of denial and blame. He who came to redeem the world was opposed by the united forces of evil. . .
This will be with all who wish to live godly in Christ Jesus. Persecution and reproach await all who are dominated by the spirit of Christ. . .
the ages Satan has persecuted the people of God. Tortured his children and gave them to death, but his death came to be winners. One testified to the power that is stronger Satan. Evil men can torture and kill the body but can not destroy life is hidden with Christ in God. They can imprison men and women within the prison walls, but can not tie up the ghost.
In the midst of trial and persecution, the glory-the-character of God revealed in His elect. . . Follow Christ in the midst of painful conflicts, supporting the dedication and experience bitter disappointments, but that they learn what is guilt and misery of sin, and come at him with loathing. When participating in the sufferings of Christ, can see the glory beyond the dark and say, "Because I have to reckon that at this time endures, not compare with the glory that we shall be revealed "(Rom. 8: 18) (The Acts of the Apostles, pp. 459-461).
