Are you willing to suffer for the sake of Christ?

If we claim to be followers of Christ, we must be willing to suffer for his sake, it is not good enough to just believe in him, but we must be like-minded, affectionate and kind and merciful, conducting ourselves worthy of the Gospel of Christ, whether absent or present in the Lord, esteeming others better than ourselves, looking out for the interest of others, doing nothing for selfish gain, but all for the glory of God. We will suffer persecution, but know that if you are persecuted for Christ’s sake, and endure, your reward will be great in heaven. Praise the Lord!
