What does the Bible say about persecution and the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that persecution can contribute to the furtherance of the gospel, as seen in Philippians 1:12-18.

In Philippians 1:12-18, Paul encourages the believers not to be disturbed by his imprisonment, indicating that it was actually serving God's purposes in spreading the gospel. Rather than hindering it, his confinement allowed the opportunity to preach Christ to those who might not have otherwise heard the message. This principle is echoed in Acts 8:1, where the persecution of the church leads to the scattering of believers who then preach the Word everywhere, illustrating how God can use even difficult circumstances for His glory and the advancement of His kingdom.
