What should we do when facing persecution as Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Christians facing persecution should remember to rely on God, demonstrating love and forgiveness instead of seeking revenge.

When persecution arises, as instructed in 1 Peter 4:12-14, Christians are to rejoice rather than be discouraged. The suffering we endure is a testament to our identity with Christ and His glory. We are encouraged to keep a perspective that eternal weight of glory far outweighs temporary affliction. Furthermore, it is vital to respond to such persecution with love, as returning good for evil reflects the heart of Christ. We must trust in God's sovereignty, knowing that those who oppose us will ultimately give account to Him, and focus on praying for and showing kindness toward those who do not understand our faith.
