Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg delves into Matthew 10:26-31, where Jesus instructs his disciples not to fear those who persecute them. Gregg notes that while Christians believe that Jesus is referring to the devil, it's important not to fear persecution, as God is on their side. He also discusses the concept of eternal torment in hell, stating that it's one of the main reasons people believe in its existence. Finally, Gregg explores the symbolism of the verse about God numbering the hairs on one's head, suggesting that it's a sign of how well God knows and understands each individual.
