Sebab jika kamu mengaku dengan mulutmu, bahwa Yesus adalah Tuhan, dan percaya dalam hatimu, bahwa Yahweh telah membangkitkan Dia dari antara orang mati, maka kamu akan diselamatkan. Karena dengan hati orang percaya dan dibenarkan, dan dengan mulut orang mengaku dan diselamatkan. Siapakah yang mengalahkan dunia, selain dari pada dia yang percaya, bahwa Yesus adalah Putra Yahweh?

PERSECUTION FOR THE CROSS OF CHRIST

Must for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ, we are in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, together with the saints of Jesus Christ, who call in the name of Jesus Christ, day and night. When we are in the good situations or in the bad situations, as John, the apostle of Jesus Christ in the Patmos, the misery place. “I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Revelation 1:9). John, the apostle is not man who desire to make a fair shew in the flesh. Because peoples like this does not want suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. This writen in Galatians 6:12, “As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.”

And this tribulation is a heavy pressure, which pressures the spirit of people. Therefore we need The Holy Spirit who bring us in the victory of Jesus Christ every day. AMEN!!! We strong and win upon this tribulation. Because The Holy Spirit who dwell in us is greater than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." 2 Corinthians 4:8-11, “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 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. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.”

Because we are difinite experience the persecution for the cross of Christ, because we do worship to Jesus Christ, The Living and The True God. And let we do worship to Jesus Christ with a good conscience, agree with 1 Peter 3:15-16, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.” Let we diligently seek Lord Jesus Christ, because there are rewards for us. Because The Holy Spirit remains us that in the last days, many children of God decline from their faith in Jesus Christ, because this tribulation is so heavy. And we must listen to the voice of The Holy Spirit. 1 Timothy 4:1, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” So let we always hold on The Word of God and always live in the guidance of Holy Spirit. Because we can not live without The Word of God and the guidance of Holy Spirit. So we must wake up and aware and understand, that this tribulation come to us because we hold on The Word of God, and this tribulation is a examination for our faith, so that our faith more pure in His sight. AMEN!!! And we more hope to Lord Jesus Christ, because He is The Way and The Truth and The Life, who makes you and GEREJA KRISTEN BENDOSARI perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle us. 1 Peter 5:10, “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

And the important things for every believer are keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:12, “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” And let we wait for the second coming of Lord Jesus Christ, with always do what The Holy Bible say. Always aware and pray, so that we strong not by our power and ability, but by The Holy Spirit who give the new power, for live as the witnesses of Jesus Christ, Lord and our Savior. AMEN!!! Acts 1:8, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

And if you experience a hard tribulation, come to Jesus Christ and see that He give you what you need to live in the peace and victory of Jesus Christ every day until the end of age, He be with you. HALELUYAH!!! Matthew 11:28-30, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” And Jesus Christ says that: “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” (Matthew 5:10-12).
