Following Christ is costly
July 29, 2022
Following Christ is costly. In our country, persecution is growing in a subtle way. Standing firm on the Biblical truth that each life is precious and should be protected means being physically threatened. Supreme court justices who embrace that truth are being threatened, their homes surrounded, and even a Senior senator stated, “You’ll pay for this!”
Remember Paul’s closing words Colossians 4: 18. “Remember my chains.” He was reminding us, ‘It won’t be easy.” Valuing each life is no longer tolerated in our country. To respect each person as an image bearer of God is not a shared value. Whether Christ follower or not, each human is precious regardless of their position, power, or lack thereof.
Have I been persecuted for Christ? No. But I can pray that God strengthen those who are being threatened for standing firm for God’s principles.
