What should Christians do in response to persecution?

Answered in 1 source

Christians are called to trust in God and not be afraid of those who can harm them.

1 Peter 3:14 encourages believers facing persecution for their faith to be 'happy' and not to fear those who may threaten their lives. Instead, they are to rest in the assurance that God is in control and hears their plight. This echoes Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 5:12, where He instructs the persecuted to rejoice for their reward in heaven is great. Christians are reminded to respond not with anger or retaliation but with the peace that comes from knowing they are in God’s hands, illustrating their trust in His sovereign purposes even amid trials.
