Suffering for Christ's Sake
American Christians can worship in relative freedom and we tend to view this as a sign of God's blessing, but the early church father, Tertullian, wrote, "the blood of martyrs is the seed of the church". The world was turned upside down in the first centuries of church history because believers were wiling to suffer and die for the sake of Christ.

Those who are in Christ have been justified before God. But salvation means much more; it means that we are sanctified, that God actually leads us into holiness. As Michael Allen and company explain, our holiness is carried out in the present work of our sovereign, loving God. In Christ we are given life, not simply in name, but in fact. Praise the Lord, who delivers His children through every weakness. Though you struggle with sin, do not be discouraged; it is God who works in you, "both to will and to work for his good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13).
