Romans 8:35
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
One of the lessons thought in Christianity is how to express joy in times of tribulation, distress or persecution. Why? Because the devil always wants us to be separated from the great love that God Has in stock for us.
Persecution is another situation that makes Christians to lay back and temporarily get off track in serving the Lord. It comes from sources expected and unexpected. Usually, to test how we stand with God. The scriptures enjoins us to count it all joy. In the midst of persecution there is God who will see us through. Praise God!
Paul the Apostle experienced more persecution recorded than any other apostles. He did not give up. He continued with his un-relented zeal till the end, just for the love of Christ. Do not give up in persecution. Jesus did not. Paul did not. You should not. Indeed, no Christian should. God is not unaware of it. Keep your focus on the power of Christ’s love. God’s love is greater than every persecution. Take into account that God that promises expected future is in that future to safe and deliver.
