How do we know that God's servants will face opposition?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's faithful servants will often encounter opposition from those who do not share their zeal.

Throughout scripture, we find that true devotion to God can provoke antagonism from both the world and even those within our closest circles. Just as David faced scorn from Michal for his enthusiastic worship, Jesus, the prophets, and His apostles also experienced hostility for their fervent commitment to God's cause. This principle is depicted in 2 Samuel 6, where Michal despises David for his joy and zeal in honoring God. This serves as a reminder that believers can expect similar reactions when they fully commit their lives to serving the Lord, as outlined in Galatians 5:17, where the flesh is at odds with the spirit. Therefore, understanding this conflict helps Christians remain steadfast amidst adversity.
