Matthew 10:22

And you will be hated by everyone because of (your association with) My name, but it is the one who has patiently preserved and endured to the end who will be saved.

As Christians, we are taught to love others and be kind, and we must be prepared not to be loved back. The Church and Christian people temper the spread of evil in the world. Our presence and influence are essential in government, community, and work. Don’t give up, and let your light shine.
