ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO LIVE PLEASANTLY SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTIONS ...
In fact, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 2 Timothy 3:12
FROM THE MOMENT WE ACCEPT JESUS (YESHUA, THE SON OF YHWH), THIS IMPLIES TO RECOGNIZE THE SACRIFICE MADE ON THE CROSS OF THE CALVARY THEREOF, FOR THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS. IT ALSO MEANS RECOGNIZING THAT WE ARE SINNERS AND THEREFORE WE NEED THE ONLY SAVIOR ABLE TO RECONCILE US WITH GOD (YHWH), JESUS (YESHUA). THEREFORE, OUR NEXT STEP MUST BE BAPTISM IN WATER, WHICH MEANS THE SEPULTY OF THE OLD MAN CORRUPTED BY ORIGINAL SIN. BY ENTERING THE WATERS, THE OLD MAN OF A SINNECTICAL NATURE DIES AND, ON LIFTING UP, IS BORN AGAIN, A NEW CREATURE AND RECEIVES THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE CONSOLATOR THAT REPRESENTS THE TRUTH THAT WILL LEAD US BY THE WAYS OF JUSTICE, BY THE WORD OF GOD (YHWH ). FROM THAT MOMENT FOR GROWTH OF FAITH AND LEARNED FROM WHO'S GOD? WE WILL PASS FOR STRUGGLES, DIFFICULTIES, PROVINCES, AFFLICTIONS, ADVERSITIES, WHICH WILL PRODUCE SPIRITUAL GRADUATION AND WE WILL NEVER BE ALONE, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL BE WITH US UP TO THE CONSUMPTION OF TIMES!
ROMANS 10: 8-11
8 But what sayeth it? The word is with you, in your mouth and in your heart; this is the word of faith, which we preach,
9 And if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and in thine heart believe that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be confounded."
ACTS 14:
21 And having preached the gospel in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Confirming the minds of the disciples, exhorting them to remain in the faith, for we are in many tribulations to enter into the kingdom of God.
Blessed
the persecuted
because of justice,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10
From all sides we are pressed, but not discouraged; we are perplexed, but not desperate; we are persecuted, but not abandoned; slaughtered, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9
Remember those in prison, as if imprisoned with them; of those who are being mistreated, as if you yourself were being mistreated. Hebrews 13: 3
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fire that comes between you to prove them, as if something strange was happening. But rejoice as you partake of the sufferings of Christ, so that, when his glory is revealed, you will rejoice with great joy. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, happy are you, for the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God, rests upon you. If any of you suffer, do not be as a murderer, a thief, a criminal, or as one who intrudes on another's business. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God by that name. 1 Peter 4: 12-16
Bless those who persecute you; bless us, do not curse them.
Romans 12:14
Remember the words I said: No slave is greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If you have obeyed my word, you will obey yours. John 15:20
Many are my opponents
and my persecutors,
but I do not deviate from your statutes. Psalm 119: 157
All your commandments
deserve trust;
help me, for I am pursued with lies. Psalms 119: 86
But I say: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may become children of your Father who is in heaven. For he maketh his sun to shine upon the evil and the good, and poureth rain upon the just and unjust. Matthew 5: 44-45
Brethren, have the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patience in the face of suffering. As you know, we consider happy those who have shown perseverance. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and have seen the end that the Lord has given you. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. James 5: 10-11
Therefore, for Christ's sake I rejoice in weaknesses, insults, needs, persecutions, and anxieties. For when I am weak, I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10
But you have followed closely my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance, the persecutions and the sufferings that I faced, things that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Stripe. How much persecution I have endured! But out of all these things the Lord delivered me! In fact, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. However, the wicked and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3: 10-13
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Is it tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written:
"For your sake, we face
death every day;
we are considered
like sheep
destined for the slaughter. "But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." Romans 8: 35-37
"Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer." The Devil will cast some of you in prison to prove them, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. : 10
Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth: no one who has left home, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or fields, because of me and the gospel, will no longer receive a hundred times more, , sisters, mothers, children and fields, and with them persecution, and in the age to come, eternal life.
I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who strengthened me and considered me faithful, assigning me to the ministry, to me who was previously blasphemous, persecuting and insolent; but I obtained mercy, because I did it out of ignorance and in unbelief; yet the grace of our Lord overflowed over me with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 1: 12-14
Lord, my God, I take refuge in you;
save me and save me from all
those who persecute me, that, like lions,
do not tear me apart or tear me apart,
without anyone freeing me. Psalms 7: 1-2
But I trust in you, Lord,
and I say, Thou art my God. My future is in your hands;
Deliver me from my enemies.
and of those who persecute me. Make Your Face Shine
about thy servant;
save me for your loyally love.Salmos 31: 14-16
Pay attention to my cry,
for I am greatly afflicted;
Deliver me from those who persecute me,
because they are stronger than I am. Release me from prison,
and I will give thanks for your name.
Then the righteous will gather around me.
because of thy goodness toward me. Psalm 142: 6-7
"Then shall they deliver them up to be persecuted and condemned to death, and you shall be hated by all nations for my sake." Matthew 24: 9
When we were with you, we said that we would be persecuted, which really happened, as you know.
1 Thessalonians 3: 4
You, brethren, are children of promise, like Isaac. At that time, the naturally born son persecuted the Son-born Son according to the Spirit. The same is true now. Galatians 4: 28-29
Finally, brethren, pray for us, so that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and receive the deserved honor, as it happened among you. Pray also that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for faith is not of all. But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen them and keep them from the Evil One. 2 Thessalonians 3: 1-3
The Bible is very clear: whoever follows Jesus will go through afflictions. But there is hope, because if we ask, God gives us the strength to endure and never leaves us in the middle of a storm.
Jesus himself said that following God does not mean that we will never face problems. But that should not serve to discourage us. On the contrary, we must take advantage of adversity to trust God and learn what He wants to teach us.
When we face battles and persevere, God works on our character; faith and hope grow in our hearts. When we have the right attitude, the challenges in our life do not help us gain maturity.
So, if you are going through afflictions, do not be discouraged, do not give up!
What the Bible says about afflictions
Not only that, but we also boast in tribulations, because we know that tribulation produces perseverance; perseverance, an approved character; and the approved character, Hope. Romans 5: 3-4
My brethren, consider it a cause of great joy for you to go through various trials, for you know that the proof of your faith produces perseverance. James 1: 2-3
The righteous cry out, the Lord hears them
and deliver them from all their tribulation. The Lord is near.
of the brokenhearted
and save them that are of a broken spirit. The righteous go through many adversities,
but the Lord delivers him from all; protects all your bones;
none of them will be broken. Psalm 34: 17-20
No temptation came to you that was not common to men. And God is faithful; it will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when they are tempted, he himself will provide an escape, so that they may bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, I will boast even more joyfully in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest in me. 2 Corinthians 12: 9
Well, do not belittle
nor repudiated the suffering of the afflicted;
he did not hide his face from him,
but he heard his cry for help. Psalms 22:24
That's why we are not discouraged. Though we are outwardly outwardly inwardly, we are being renewed day by day, for our light and momentary sufferings are producing for us an everlasting glory that weighs more than all of them. 2 Corinthians 4: 16-17
I can do everything through Him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
I believe that our present sufferings can not be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans 8:18
In bringing many children to glory, it was fitting that God, through whom and through whom all things exist, made perfect through suffering the author of their salvation. Hebrews 2:10
Mercy Lord!
See the suffering they cause me
those who hate me.
Save me from the gates of death, that by the gates of the city of Zion,
I sing praises to you
and there rejoice in thy salvation. Psalms 9: 13-14
Temptation is the hour when our faith is tested. In difficult times we can abandon Jesus or continue believing in Him. The ordeal shows whether our love for Jesus is true or just a selfish and selfish attitude.
No one likes to go through trials but these moments help mature and strengthen the faith. Those who have overcome an ordeal find more strength in Jesus. Suffering does not last forever and one day we will receive the reward for resisting the ordeal.
Happy is the man who perseveres in the ordeal, because once approved he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12
My brethren, consider it a cause of great joy for you to go through various trials, for you know that the proof of your faith produces perseverance. And perseverance must have complete action, so that you may be mature and upright, without lacking anything. James 1: 2-4
The Lord tests the just,
but the wicked and those who love injustice,
his soul hates. Psalms 11: 5
The crucible is for silver
and the furnace is for gold,
but the Lord tests the heart. Proverbs 17: 3
For you, O God, have put us to the test
and refined us like silver. You made us fall into a trap.
and you put burdens on our backs. You let your enemies ride
on our head;
we pass through fire and water,
but brought us a place of plenty. Psalm 66: 10-12
In this you rejoice, though now, for a little while, you must be saddened by all sorrow. So it is to prove that your faith, far more valuable than the gold that perishes, though refined by fire, is genuine and will result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1 Peter 1: 6-7
"Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness during these forty years, to humble you and test you, to know your intentions, to obey your commandments or not Deuteronomy 8: 2
Serve the Lord with all humility and tears, being severely tested by the conspiracies of the Jews. Acts of the Apostles 20:19
Those who fell on the stones are those who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but they give up at the time of ordeal. Luke 8:13
Thus, as the Holy Spirit says:
"Today, if you listen
his voice, not harden the heart,
as in rebellion,
during the time of trial in the wilderness, where their ancestors
They tried me,
putting me to the test,
although for forty years,
have seen what I did. Hebrews 3: 7-9
