Blessed Are Those Who Are Persecuted

When someone becomes a Christian, God gives them a transformed life and makes them righteous. But when they're immersed in a world full of unrighteous people, a 'chemical reaction' of persecution will occur. Jesus said that if the world hated Him, they will also hate His followers. Are you persecuted for following Jesus Christ? If so, rejoice and be exceddlingly glad becuase youre blessed.
