DON'T LOSE IT

DON'T LOSE IT
"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it." Mark 8:35
Many could not give their lives to Jesus or stand for righteousness for the fear of death. They are afraid of being killed or being persecuted or being mocked or being ostracized. But everyone who fulfills the requirements for following Jesus as a disciple as found in Luke 14:26 have always gotten their lives preserved.
Since persecution is part of the package of salvation (Mark 10:28-30), those who run from it end up losing their souls.
O comrade, stand firm in Christ. Stand for righteousness, stand for the truth, identify with Jesus anywhere, anytime and you shall have your soul preserved.
Shalom.
