“If you become zealous for Jesus in your everyday life, who can hurt you? Satan and his followers can do everything in their power to hurt you, but if you belong to Jesus and strive to live every moment for Him, there is nothing that they can do to take that away from you. Even if, in this life on earth, you are persecuted, hated, tortured, even killed, you know that you are blessed. Why? Because you serve the Messiah, who endured all of those things for your sake, and conquered them all. He arose from the grave, defeating death once and for all, and has promised eternal life with Him to all who will follow Him. Compared to an eternity of joyful life with Jesus in Heaven, what are a few fleeting years of life on earth, even if they must be spent enduring persecution? Isaiah tells us, ‘And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.’”
1 Peter 3:13-14, Isaiah 8:12
