Persecution In Open-Air Preaching

"I am sending you like sheep among ravenous wolves"
"Whoever wants to save his life will lose it and whoever loses His life for My sake will gain it"
"If anyone wants to follow Me, he must first deny Himself, take up his cross then follow me."
"If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you on that Day that the Son of Man comes back, with the angels, in the fullness of His glory"

How much has the preaching the Gospel cost you? Do you even preach at all? Are your hands scarred for preaching the Gospel? Or are you just sitting back and leaving everything to chance?

Let us not cheapen the Gospel. The Lord Jesus saved us from our sins and gave us a future to look forward to. If not for Him, we would be nothing but rotting corpses in hell. If not for Him, we would be nothing. It is only by drinking from Him that we can gain righteousness. We are not worthy, rather, we are made worthy by His sacrifice. The cross is a reminder of how depraved we really are that it took the death of God's only Son so that we may be reconciled with Him. By our own hands, we cannot be saved. Has the Gospel become a reality in your life? Are you living in the fullness of the truth? Have you suffered for the sake of Jesus? Watch this video and be blessed.
