Persecuted Christian Church
When you ask Jesus in your heart, you are immediately removed from darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9
So, we are light living in a dark world. Because of that, you will suffer Christian persecution, especially for righteousness. Matthew 5:10-11
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."
Jesus warns us that the bride of Jesus Christ will be persecuted. Why because the people around us are in darkness and are part of the kingdom of satan. They will not always like you.
In Matthew 5:12 it says: "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."
The scriptures of Jesus say to rejoice, and be glad because we will receive a reward in heaven instead of being angry and wanting to return revenge. That is the kingdom of darkness rising inside you so you have to sanctify yourself and be in the spirit.
Again, we are alians passing through to the eternal glory. Don't allow bad bosses, bad friends, or long-term friends cause you to loose your salt. Matthew 5:13
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."
What else are we commanded to do?
Matthew 5:44
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
We are told to pray for those who curse you, hate you and despitefully use you.
The kingdom of God is love and is opposite to the kingdom of darkness. We are to love all, especially our enemies, regardless of how much they use you, hurt you, and persecute you with hatred.
Why does the Kingdom of God wants us to love?
It is the principle of love that draws people to the Lord. Just think: If we all learned to sanctify the flesh, there would be fewer wars on earth. Instead, we allow our anger to get the best of us, and that can ruin friendships, working relationships, etc. forever.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
Bridge of Jesus Christ
In fact you become the bride of Jesus Christ. You are bought with a price pulled out of darkness. You no longer belong to the devil or the kingdom of darkness but the kingdom of light.
That means we are not part of this world. 1 John 2: 15-17
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
