Thessalonians | Did you see that?...

Sun, 31 Mar 2019 05:00:00 -0400

We probably don't consider being attacked for your faith as being a good thing, but the Bible says that being willing to go on record for your faith means you are "counted worthy of the kingdom of God".

"... so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;" 2 Thessalonians 1:4-5 (NKJV)
