How do we know that persecution is a sign of faithfulness to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Persecution serves as evidence of our faithfulness to Christ, as Christ's own words in John 15:19-20 indicate.

Scripture provides assurance that persecution is a clear indication of being chosen by Christ and living in alignment with His teachings. In John 15:19-20, Jesus warns His disciples that if they were of the world, it would love them, but because they are not, the world hates them. This dichotomy highlights that true loyalty to Christ often results in opposition from those who reject Him. Within this context, the experience of persecution affirms a believer's identity and mission, showcasing that their affliction reflects the same tensions faced by Christ and His prophets.
