Suffering in His Name – Jennifer Woodley

“Yet if any of you suffers as a Christian, do not consider it a disgrace, but glorify God because you bear this name.” 1 Peter 4:16 (NRSV)

The message is clear – Christians will suffer. If we are reviled for our faith, for standing firm on our Christ-honouring convictions, we are blessed, because this too is how our Saviour lived. In our suffering, we are walking in His steps.

If our suffering is in accordance with God’s will, we can entrust ourselves to Him, who will enable us to bear the hardship. Just as our faithful God sustained His Son, so will He sustain us too. When we suffer as a Christian, it is no disgrace, but glory, because we suffer in His name.

But disgrace will fall upon us when we suffer for doing wrong. “But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, a criminal, or even as a mischief maker.” (1 Peter 4:15). God has no part when we suffer for doing evil. We can expect no help from Him, for “the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” (1 Peter 3:12). Scripture warns us against the self-inflicted suffering that comes from sin.

Let’s consider the difficulties and hardships we are encountering just now. What is the source of our suffering? Is our suffering drawing us closer to Christ or distancing us from Him and His good Spirit? If we suffer for following our Saviour, rejoice, because He will sustain us. But, if we suffer as a consequence of our sinful choices, the burden will continue to weigh heavy upon us until we repent and choose to walk closely again in obedience to God.

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
