Persecuted For Righteousness Sake
The BeatitudesSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses persecution for righteousness' sake, explaining that it means being disliked and rejected for one's faith. He emphasizes that persecution for Christ's sake is spiritually, rather than physically, inflicted by Satan, and highlights that Christians must endure suffering to enter the Kingdom of God, as shown in the Old Testament, by notable persecutors such as Antiochus Epiphanes. Gregg also emphasizes that Christians should not go on a crusade to stamp out sinners, but rather, they should rejoice in their sufferings and pray for God to bring an end to persecution.
