33Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies;
34who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
35Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."
37But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
38For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is )in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am just a young man who God has saved and who realizes that God's number one goal in my life is to conform me to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.

I read something interesting yesterday. RC Sproul said "the Old Testament counterpart to the New Testament apostle was the prophet".
"Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
Matt. 5:12
There seems to be a pattern of people sent by God to proclaim His message to a hostile world and suffering persecution.
Yes. Persecution will occur, but can we agree it's not always an intstant thing?
geez, josh, haven't you ever seen those microwave containers of instant persecution? if you never got one in your salvation-by-mail kit, then you're not a real christian!!
lol. yes, we agree it will occur. when exactly? we can't say.
ohh man.. I KNEW something was missing from my kit...
Glad to hear you agree.
