Joy in Spite of Suffering

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering. — 1 Thessalonians 1:6 | Majority Standard Bible (MSB) The Majority Standard Bible is in the public domain.

Living in Joy | 1 Thessalonians 1:6

[thomastanker02]

Jesus proclaimed that those who deny him here on Earth, he will also deny before his Father in Heaven.

Persecution on this Earth for Jesus’ name is inevitable. Jesus not only warned us of this, but experienced it himself. There were multiple attempts to stone him, kill him, catch him in his words, and he was ridiculed relentlessly for his teachings from the Father.

And that was all before his death.

And yet, Jesus never denied his Father. Despite all his hardship, despite the persecutions that you and I could hardly comprehend the full extent of, h remained loyal to his Father. He didn’t even care if it meant his death, he just as not going blend in with the world.

We are called, as imitators of Christ, to have that same fortitude.

No matter what the world throws at us, they can never take away our faith. The world can take what you own, and even the people you love, but it can never take what you believe in.

I don’t mean to accuse, or judge, but if we deny Christ, we are nothing but cowards. Only a coward denies the one who saved him from eternal damnation. How can we deny the God who died on our behalf, and saved from horrors beyond our wildest imagination?

How can we reject the God of love, truth, and goodness? It would mean that we choose what is evil, corrupt, and leads to eternal damnation.

The Bible says to be ready when somebody asks about the reason for our joy (1 Peter 3:15). How can we be real Christians is for deny somebody the chance to know God? By denying him, we deny God another soul and Heaven, and lead that person and ourselves on the road through the wide gate.

“It’s a Monday, why are you so happy?”

“Oh, no reason”.

God says that it’s not his will that anyone perishes, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). If we are to by lights of the world, we should be willing to explain why we are shining so brightly.

It’s time that we weight our options. What’s more important, blending in with a perishing world, or being righteous before the God of the universe?

Ya, I think so too.

God bless, Jesus loves you ✝️❤️

Some wretched little imp named licetake has recently been hiding from the sun in my shadow. In this public address I would like to inform them that I actually do not have any lice they might take, and they would do well to pursue greener parasitoid pastures. My deepest sympathies - I know the life of a lousepig is a hard one, and I'm sorry I couldn't be of any more use. Good luck out there little @liesteak !!! Good luck!!

Also my bio literally says liars DNI, piss on the floor website or whatever
