Blessed is the Christian who is persecuted for showing the world Jesus, not just for claiming to be a Christian.

The Prize Is Worth The Price - Part 6 of 6
Extending God’s glory is costly, but the prize is worth the price.
Side-Effects: Persecution
How much have we been persecuted because of our faith in Jesus Christ? Have we ever lost friends, jobs or anything for the faith? Have we ever been driven from our homes for the faith? Have we ever been falsely accused, verbally abused or physically beaten because of the faith? The truth is we have lost little or nothing at all when it concerns our faith and what does that mean? Does it mean our faith is so watered down it doesn’t offend the world around us? Does it mean the world can’t tell from our witness that we are Christian? Does it mean we are not shining bright in a dark world? Does it mean we are more saltless than salty?
You Can't Stop God
Satan knows the end of the book as well as we do. He is desperate to do as much damage to God’s Kingdom as he can in the short amount of time he has left. We must not allow ourselves to become discouraged, but rather live each moment of our lives in the confidence that God will give us the victory over Satan and that His goodness will always triumph over the evils of this world.
Faith Under Fire
Idolatry is constantly making demands of people, even God's people. While the world will always try to force us into submission to its god-substitutes, God can use those very pressures to make us stronger and give us a more vibrant witness to the power and mercy of the Living Lord Jesus. This message looks at the way idolatry tries to shape us and how God seeks to use the world's pressures to build our faith and witness.
Opposition From The World
Christians should expect to face opposition from the world.
