One Simple Truth
To be known by Christ is worth being hated by all.
Scripture
Mark 13:13 ESV (Read the Full Chapter Here)
And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
The Scriptures do not give us any room to completely disregard the opinions of others, believer or unbeliever. We are admonished to work with all of our heart, whatever the task. We are commanded to be truthful, honoring, kind, pure, and generous. We are also called to, unashamedly, declare Jesus Christ as the only way to God the Father. In a world that is perverse, purity will be disdained. Take heart dear Christian, to be known by Christ is worth being hated by all.
Prayer
Jesus, my Lord and my God. To be known by You is all my heart desires today. Give me strength to live in purity among a perverse generation. In Your name I ask, amen.
