What does the Bible say about the persecution of Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that persecution is a reality for Christians, yet true believers should not be afraid as the triumphing of the wicked is brief.

The Bible acknowledges that persecution is a reality faced by Christians, as seen in the story of Herod's attempts to destroy Jesus. Despite the strength of their enemies, Christians are encouraged not to fear but to trust in God's ultimate sovereignty. Scriptures remind believers that the triumph of the wicked is fleeting and that God is eternal. Historical examples illustrate that past persecutors have ultimately fallen, while the truth of God's Word continues to endure.
