|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Unlike everybody who is not a Christian.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The non-Christian proves this by persecuting.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We have a different nature.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Christian's life controlled and dominated by Christ.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. His concern is to do everything "for Christ sake."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. No blessing in persecution which comes for our sake.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. "Ye are not your own."</div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">b. Fallacy of making oneself a Christian.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO FACE PERSECUTION LIKE THIS?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Never rejoice in persecution for its own sake.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Deep sense of sorrow.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Persecution is a sign you are Christian.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. You are in good company "For so persecuted..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. You are identified with Christ.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Persecution is a proof of where you are going. "For great is your reward in heaven."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Consider the end - the final destiny. My outlook on everything that happens to me is governed by three things. Who I am; Where I am going; and What awaits me there.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">"For we look not on things which are seen."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. Is this idea of reward right for Christian?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Shouldn't think of heaven or hell...</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">unscriptural.</div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Christ "Who for the joy that was set."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Paul "I have fought a good fight -they that run in a race run all."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">E. The Christian is always looking ahead to the end.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "Set your affections on things above."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Does this not condemn us?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Does this not make foolish the way we look at this world so much?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. How often do you think of heaven and rejoice in it?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. "For to me to live is Christ and to die ..."</div>

|
<div class="SSN_level5">To be with Christ which is far better.</div>
