Standing Firm in Gospel Opposition - Day 5: Walk Worthy
Day 5: Walk Worthy
Reading: Colossians 1:9-14
In November 1660 John Bunyan was arrested and later sentenced to prison where he would spend the next 12 years of his life. His crime? He was preaching the gospel “without a license” — a punishable offense under the religious tyranny of King Charles I and Archbishop William Laud. His original sentencing was three months, but Bunyan refused to not preach the Truth, and so he remained a jailed man for 12 years. He placed his faith in the Lord and refused to stop doing what God had called him to do even when it cost him his freedom.
Most of us will not face this kind of persecution, but are we willing to proclaim the Truth of the Gospel no matter what it costs us? We have been called to be witnesses of Jesus and Paul encouraged us to walk worthy of that calling. God is faithful, through His strength we can be too.
