+++ Followers of Jesus Christ should expect persecution! +++

Persecution comes to the believers of Jesus Christ and those who follow him. When Jesus came into the world in all of his righteousness, he exposed all of the evil of the world - and he was hated for it. We have to remember that Jesus said, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.




Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10



Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. Hebrews 10:33



The LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you. Deuteronomy 30:7



Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10



Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Matthew 5:11



Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:12



When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes. Matthew 10:23



Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. Matthew 24:9



Because of this, God in his wisdom said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute. Luke 11:49



But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. Luke 21:12



Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. John 15:20

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Romans 12:14



In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 2 Timothy 3:12
