Facing Persecution

 

Today's verse is Galatians 5:10

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. 

    In this world, there are all kinds of beliefs (doctrines,) most of which are contrary to the sound doctrines found recorded for us in the scriptures. Now those that hold to these false doctrines, having no ability to defend them with reason, resort instead to intimidation and violence to force or otherwise influence others to turn from the truth and embrace their false ways. It is of such things that Paul speaks of here. So, knowing that we must all stand before God to give account, remain faithful to him in all things, as those that oppose you for his sake shall receive their just recompense. Is this not what Paul meant when he said, “Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men?” Amen

To God be the Glory
