Are You Willing To Die for Jesus?
Will you die for Jesus? Are you willing to lose all for His glory?
Peter and John got accosted by the elites at the Jewish High Court for preaching the gospel. They were ordered to stop preaching the name of Jesus. Peter's response gets to the point.
Acts 4:19-20 - we cannot but speak the things we have seen and heard.
They were willing to die or get arrested for preaching the gospel. Like the Old Testament saints, the New Testament saints were ready to die in faith.
Daniel in the den of lions
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown into the fire
Esther vs Haman
Zebulun and Naphthali
Today, the word of God is getting compromised for far fewer reasons. Many believers can't stand in the faith because of their family or work. Some prefer worldly friendships over time with God. Some give in to the threats made by their former religious community.
Why is this happening?
Why aren't people not willing to die for Jesus?
To list a few;
Diluted preaching
Fear of losing flock
Desire community over fellowship
Love of money
Worldly pleasures, addictions and lusts
Dear believer, the time is at hand. Everything will change in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. Get ready to meet Jesus.
Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
