2 Timothy 3:12 (NKJV) says. "Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution."

Jesus reminded His disciples in John 15:18-20 (NKJV), "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also."

We will face persecution as Christians like Jesus did. How will you respond to the persecution you encounter? Will you be strong in the Lord? Will you remain steadfast and unmovable in your walk with Christ despite difficulty? Are you willing to count the cost for following Jesus? Will you take a stand for Christ regardless of what it costs you? Will you endure to the end waiting for the return of Christ? Don't give up, don't lose hope. Embrace and endure persecution.

In this episode, I will go over examples of how we will face persecution as Christ followers. Also, I will go over examples of those who faced persecution in scripture, and how we should biblically respond to persecution? Listen to this episode for more.
