May we realize that “all that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12), and that it is only through patiently enduring these “fiery darts” (Ephesians 6:10-17), and “the fiery trial” (1 Peter 4:12-14), and any persecution that our faith or gold is being “tried in the fire” (Revelation 3:18).
Hebu na tutambue kwamba Wote wapendao kuishi maisha ya utauwa katika Kristo Yesu wataudhiwa (2 Timotheo 3:12), na kwamba ni kwa njia tu ya kuvumilia hii mishale yenye moto (Waefeso 6:10-17), na majaribu makali (1 Petro 4:12-14), na mateso yoyote ambayo imani yetu au dhahabu inajaribiwa katika moto (Ufunuo 3:18).
