Preparation for Persecution
00:00 00:00

Three preparations for persecution that bring peace inwardly and proclaim hope outwardly.

  1. Be prepared to suffer for righteousness’ sake.

  2. Be prepared to defend your hope.

    • Prepare your “sinner saved” story
    • Defend a better hope (law and gospel)
    • Be a gentle and respectful person

  3. Be vigilant about personal holiness and righteousness.
