Come, Lord Jesus” (Rev. 22:20).

Besides these cases, many of our brothers and sisters face persecution in the forms of social marginalization, slander, loss of opportunity, and more. Even in America, less intense forms of persecution are becoming more prevalent.

How ought God’s people think about persecution? It’s an important question because how we think about it will necessarily affect how we face it. Will we face persecution with fear or with faith? To endure it with faith, we need something in particular to believe in, which is why God has given us his word. So consider these promises in Scripture for those who go through persecution.
