Answered in 1 source
Christians are encouraged to remain faithful, pray for the lost, and trust in God's sovereignty during opposition.
Believers facing opposition due to their faith are called to respond with grace and wisdom, leaning on God's sovereignty. The text emphasizes the importance of prayer, as seen in the examples of biblical figures like Job and David, who interceded for their loved ones. While the gospel can bring division, believers are to remain steadfast in their witness, faithfully communicating the truths of Scripture while also recognizing when to speak up or remain silent. In moments of personal hurt, Christians should bring their concerns to the Lord, seeking His guidance, and trusting in His plan for salvation. Ultimately, believers can find comfort in knowing that God hears their prayers and remains in control.
