Results of persecution on InterVarsity Campuses Students/Faculty32,00040,000 Why? Because theology matters to these people! Because they had a biblical and historical perspective.

Acts 8.1 NET: Now on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were forced to scatter throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria. Acts NET: Now those who had been scattered because of the persecution that took place over Stephen went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch...

John NET: [Jesus speaking] “If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you do not belong to the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.” Results of persecution on InterVarsity 4000 first time professions of faith in Up 21% from previous year Up 172% from ten years ago

Matthew NET: The seed sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy. But he has no root in himself and does not endure; when trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he falls away.

1. Consider ourselves blessed to have the opportunity to stand for Christ. Luke NET: [Jesus speaking] “Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject you as evil on account of the Son of Man! Rejoice in that day, and jump for joy, because your reward is great in heaven. For their ancestors did the same things to the prophets.”

2. Love and pray for those who are hurting us. Matthew NET: [Jesus speaking] “I say to you, love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be like your Father in heaven, since he causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”

3. Continue doing the good work of Jesus among those who persecute us. Romans NET: Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse.

4. Stand firm in our faith and convictions. Galatians 1.10 NET: Am I now trying to gain the approval of people, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ!

5. Rely on God to see us through. 1 Peter NET: Whoever speaks, let it be with God's words. Whoever serves, do so with the strength that God supplies, so that in everything God will be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. Dear friends, do not be astonished that a trial by fire is occurring among you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice in the degree that you have shared in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may also rejoice and be glad. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, who is the Spirit of God, rests on you.

6. Stay hopeful no matter how bad it gets. 1 Peter NET: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he gave us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, that is, into an inheritance imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is reserved in heaven for you, who by God's power are protected through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. This brings you great joy, although you may have to suffer for a short time in various trials.
