In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 NIV) In many parts of Europe, Christians are now a godly minority in an ungodly society and persecution is increasing. However, this should not make us afraid. Instead we should decide to stand firm in our faith, accept whatever suffering comes our way because of the gospel, and trust the Lord to lead us through. We can prepare ourselves spiritually now, so that it will be easier to stand firm in our faith in the future. Let us pray about this.
