Be Thou Faithful Unto Death

There are persecuted believers around the world. The first century church suffered much from the evil of their day. The Smyrna church was suffering under the hardships we cannot immediately relate to, but even though many of us have not suffered as they did, we share the common love for our Savior and devotion to serve him. Our loyalty to Jesus compels us to share in their desire to suffer for Christ if necessary.
