As a Christian, when we live for the kingdom, we should expect persecution. If we don’t, any mistreatment will weaken our Christian faith and life. Pursuing righteousness may very well cause persecution, but despite hard situations, we are still blessed. We have to continue doing what is right and remain obedient to the Word to experience eternal good in the kingdom of heaven. Just because we profess to be a Christian, it does not guarantee our entry to heaven. There has to be evidence of bearing spiritual fruit, being used by God for good, being faithful to God in our choices… These are some of the signs of those who will enter the kingdom. We all have a choice. We can choose to avoid doing what is right to avoid being harassed or harmed…or we choose to be faithful to Him, despite persecution from those who are on righteous. Beloved, let’s stay strong in the faith and choose wisely. Father God, help us to suffer well.
Matthew 5:10 ~ Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
