Gospel Responses to Violent Adversaries

This passage is about rightly interpreting terrifying adversity, and rightly responding to such adversity in a manor worthy of the gospel.

1. Your absense of terror, refusal to be intimidated, is a palpable message that your adversaries are headed for perdition. Hell in other words.

2. Your absense of terror, your refusal to be intimidatedis a token of your possession of all that salvation is.

3. How you handle God-appointed suffering is of great consequence.
