Persecution For The Gospel's Sake - BRING IT ON | 2 Corinthians 4:8-12 | Athens Bible Church

Peter and John went off rejoicing after being beaten for preaching the gospel. Christian persecution started early and continues today.

You can expect similar persecution when you preach God's Word - provided that you are preaching the TRUE GOSPEL and not those imitation gospels warned about by many biblical authors and King Jesus himself.

If your Pastor is loved by the world, something might be wrong - that's not me speaking, that's Jesus.

2 Corinthians 4

King James Version

8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
