Embrace Martyrdom, Reject Worldliness
Martyrdom provides an essential perspective on how to live a meaningful life, advocating for prayerfulness and support for authority while striving to serve those in need. The teachings of martyrs emphasize resilience in the face of adversity, urging individuals not to retaliate when wronged. The contrast between the worldly life of the privileged and the authentic exhortations from those who suffered for their beliefs underlines the call for the church to remain steadfast in its values. The expectation of peril in a changing world should not surprise believers; rather, the true surprise lies in the church conforming to worldly standards.
