The New Life In Christ - “I have faith in Christ!”… Troubles or persecution arises on account of the word. Matthew 13:21. …But God was with him, and rescued him from all his troubles… Acts 7:9.

God is the One who made all things, his and all things for glory. He wanted to have many children share his glory, so he made the One who leads people to salvation perfect through suffering. Hebrews 2:10.

God’s power protects you through your faith until salvation is shown to you at the end of time. This makes you very happy, even though now for s short time different kinds of troubles may make you sad. These troubles come to prove that your faith is true. This purity of faith is worth more than gold, which can be proved to be pure by fire but will ruin. But the purity of your faith will bring you praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is shown to you. … And you are receiving the goal of your faith-the salvation of your souls. 1Peter 1:5-9.

…yet if any of you suffers as a Christian, do not consider it a disgrace, but glorify God because you bear his name.

1Peter 4:16.

If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. 1Peter 4:11. Amen.
