Mark 13:13
You will be hated by everyone because of (your association with) My name, but the one who (patiently perseveres empowered by the Holy Spirit and) endures to the end, he will be saved.

Are we prepared to be hated because we are Christians? The oppression of Christians has been low in this country, but how well will we stick by our faith if we are jailed or excluded? When we understand that the Bible speaks of persecution and that God stands by those who are faithful to Him. We must set our minds that we will patiently preserver.
