Persecution is not a thing of the past. Many believers around the world still face severe persecution for their faith. Indeed, this is a promise to any who live a godly life in Christ Jesus. Perhaps the most powerful and regularly used instrument of persecution is the tongue. Deliverance is found only in Christ Jesus. The Lord died on the cross so that He might be your God, yours by a special covenant sealed by His precious blood. Trust in the One who was persecuted to death, yet lives, and you will likewise be delivered, now and for eternity.
