Blessed are... (Week Number 8)
Matthew 5:10 (WEB)
"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."
When we do diligent studies and accept Christ as our Savior, we may become targets of those who are anti-Christian. We look to terrorist acts in recent weeks, by radicals, who have gone into primarily Christian locations to cause chaos and harm. We MUST be vigilant and be very wise in our abilities to stay safe and not become victims.
James 1:5 (WEB)
"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
Staying safe in the face of Christian persecution takes thoughtfulness and knowledge on our part to recognize potential threats. When we have knowledge and use the Armor of God, we can recognize threats and take action to remain safe.
Ephesians 6:11 (WEB)
"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
