“What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”
Romans 8:31 NLT
We know we all have people that either hate us or criticise us, or just slight us because they don’t like who we are or what we represent. I heard a statistic last week that there are over 360,000,000 persecuted Christians in the world. That is way more than I thought there were and a way bigger problem than I thought we had.
How do I say to a persecuted Christian : ‘if God be for you who can be against you’, I would sound condescending or trite, lacking in compassion and reality. However, the persecuted church say that God is all they have, and He is. What then is my responsibility? Live humbly and simply, give generously and pray fervently. I cannot save God’s saints, but He can. However, by livening sacrifically and giving generously and praying fervently, I can support them and show my love for them.
May we all live with eyes wide open! Amen!
