Great Persecution. Part -3 Trial of Faith

Trial of faith :

When we are in the time of persecution, it is the trial or test for every born again Christian. 1 Peter 1:7 says, That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:  This is the time to show the world that how much we love and have faith in our savior the Lord Jesus Christ. Our life is not greater than our Lord, who gave us this great salvation to be as His children, through His Son Lord Jesus Christ. Mark 8:35 says, For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. And in Habakkuk 2:4 says, but the just shall live by his faith. In the trial of faith, we need to look unto Lord Jesus Christ who lived in this world as testimony or life of example. 1 Peter 2:21 says, For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

He was not afraid of sufferings or death, he has always lived a life pleasing Father by doing His will. He had faith in the Father that he will never leave him alone. John 16:32 says, Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me, that strong faith made Him rise up on the third day. Same way in this trial of faith we need to look unto the Lord Jesus Christ that He should give us faith to follow His footsteps without any fear. 2 Corinthians 4:13 says, We having the same spirit of faith.. and 1 Corinthians 12:9 says To another faith by the same Spirit; On the Lord’s day  He will raise up us from the graves and will take us to the place he has prepared for us to give us eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  John 3:16

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. John 6:39

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:40

So, STAND IN FAITH.
