Luke 10:19,20 The high calling is attainable, but I can’t do this on my own.
Matthew 16:18 There’s a cost. I must be holy and just.
John 17:14,15,16 Don’t take persecution personally. A change sometimes causes a separation from friends or family.
Matthew 10:34,35,36,37
John 15:20
John 7:7
Luke 18:29,30 There are blessings in this life.
Ephesians 3:8
The enemy plants idea that holiness cannot be obtained. Even after becoming a Christian, the enemy is still the accuser and will use shame. But God has called us and he gives the power to do this - even for young people.
It isn’t the job of angels to spread the gospel and be an example; it is our responsiblity to be a light.
