Jesus was Persecuted – John 15 v 18 – 21 (p129)

But people may listen

 

 

Christians throughout the World are Suffering – 1 Peter 5 v 8 & 9 (p278)

But the devil can be resisted

 

 

People before You were Persecuted – Matthew 5 v 10 – 12 (p5)

But it should cause us to rejoice

 

 

God Provides a Way Out – 1 Corinthians 10 v 12 & 13 (p201 & 202)

You will not be tempted beyond what you can bear

 

 

The Lord is Faithful – 2 Thessalonians 3 v 3 (p245)

He will strengthen and protect you

 

 

The One in You is Greater than the One in the World – 1 John 4 v 4-6 (p284)

We are from God

 

Review

 

Opposition is a good sign

Opposition is a privilege

Opposition is a cause to be glad

Opposition is always inferior to the One on our side
