18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
John 16:1-3
“All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. 3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.

Someone wrote in an online journal once; scoffing Christians and underestimating the Christian faith, saying that Christian faith is too easy. "They believe in Jesus Christ and <ding!> they will enter Heaven~ Just like an a computer scanned with an antivirus."
You think being a Christian is easy? Guess again!
#1. Consider the persecution we, Christians, have to face from the rest of the world.
Starting a race is easy. Making it to the finish line is a different story.
