Preparing for Trial
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In "Preparing for Trial," Steve Gregg reminds Christians that trials are inevitable and could involve serious tribulations such as persecution and opposition, even leading to martyrdom. Christians must prepare themselves by building their lives on the right foundation, the word of God. Both spiritual and practical preparation, including a prudent mindset and intentional community-building, is necessary to overcome the tests of commitment and faith that God permits to strengthen His people. Gregg stresses prioritizing eternal things over worldly possessions, focusing on an eternal perspective, and not fearing death when called to remain uncompromised in the face of evil.
