Protection

"The LORD will protect him and keep him alive, And he shall be called blessed upon the earth; And do not give him over to the desire of his enemies." Psalm 41:2

Not only the Lord protects us, He also gives us happiness and long life, not allowing the enemies to mock those who serve Him.

Defense

"The LORD will go forth like a warrior, He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies." Isaiah 42:13

The Lord of hosts will fight for us and will show His power against those who persecute us.

Spiritual Discernment

"The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned."

1 Corinthians 2:14

The Word of God may sound like nonsense for the lost. Try to convince the unbeliever about the things of God is often a waste of time. But how to talk about the Lord Jesus in a clear way? Through your own life testimony in a real and intelligent way.

Longing for help

"Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise," says the LORD; "I will set him in the safety for which he longs." Psalm 12:5

The eyes of the Lord are upon the afflicted and needy. He stands and is ready to stretch out His hands to deliver and protect all those who cry out for Him.

The Lord's Servant

"And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:24-25

Those who are in the faith have been evangelizing the unbelievers with wise, patient and gentle words, so that they may be led to the knowledge of life in the Lord Jesus and His powerful Word, resulting in repentance of sins.

Second Death

"But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelations 21:8

Those who practice one or more of these offenses may even get away with it before the human justice, but will by no means escape the eternal condemnation, which is the second death.

Faith put to the Test

"...so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:7

Our faith is constantly being tested through the our daily trials, which causes us to feel the burning fire. But such trials are essential in order to strengthen our trust in God and to reveal the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ to the world.
