ODB-Faithful unto death

The church at Smyrna—a first-century congregation that suffered persecution for Christ—was challenged to be faithful unto death. Their spiritual commitment had not gone unnoticed by the Master (Rev. 2:9). And for the suffering that was to come, Jesus offered this encouragement: “Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested . . . . Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life” (v.10).

The Lord understands what we are going through now and what we will face in the future. Though there’s suffering in this world, He promises eternal life to His children. In His strength we can be faithful unto death (Phil. 4:12-13).

Though the stress and strain of life
My thread of faith may break,
The cable of God’s faithfulness
No storm can ever shake. —Anon.

Our faith may be tested so that we may trust His faithfulness.

I haven't knew that there is still salvation of the second death. Satan will come and tempt people but Christ will be at their sides and tell that to trust Him. easy to do: just trust in the Lord.

I hope people in the second death will trust  God. I pray that people will not suffer in the hand of Satan. Satan must diminish. We should hate him. he is the cuz of every hatred and weaknesses. But I knew God is bigger than Satan. Help yourself not to be deceived by Satan but with God. 

Strengthen your trust in the Lord. Because we cannot when will be his coming. Trust trust trust.
