Through persecution, the Lord stays with believers (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5); He knows their limits and gives grace (1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 12:9); He rewards them in heaven (Matthew 5:10-12); He works persecution for good, shaping the believer’s character and glorifying Himself (Romans 8:28). The rewards far outweigh the cost of following Jesus! Jesus suffered and died on the cross to take the believer’s punishment for sin.
Ipinangako sa atin ni Hesus na palagi Niya tayong gagabayan hanggang sa katapusan ng sanlibutan (Mateo 28:20); Hindi Niya tayo iiwanan at pababayaan man (Hebreo 13:5); Alam Niya ang ating mga pagdurusa at paghihirap, sapagkat nagdusa rin Siya para sa atin (1 Pedro 2:21); Ang Kanyang pagmamahal sa atin ay walang hanggan at hindi Niya tayo susubukin ng higit sa ating makakaya.
