Suffering for the cause of Christ, for defending the truth is distinctive of true Christians, in a more marked way in these last times.
Without a doubt, we are in dangerous times, times of apostasy, times when lies are spreading even within the churches.
We must be alert, take care that the Word of God is not twisted, and watch over the souls of new believers who can easily be confused.
When we defend the truth of the Word of God opposition will arise, but we have the duty not to corrupt the pure and true message of the Word of God.
"Blessed are those who suffer persecution for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they revile you and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for your sake. The reward is great in heaven, for so they have followed the prophets who were before you. "Matthew 5, 10-12
