Steel Yourself to Live Courageously
What, then, is our advice in resisting the system of the Antichirst? Having believed the Gospel of the Kingdom, secondly, steel yourself to live courageously. To be a believer during the days of the Tribulation makes you the custodian of tremendous privilege, but it also means you will face some genuine opposition in the world. The Book of the Revelation, which tells us so much about the Tribulation, speaks particularly about you! In a number of places, it says things like this:
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death" (Revelation 12:11).
They resisted the devil, who came down amongst them. To be a part of that opposition is going to take tremendous courage during the days of the Tribulation. To fulfill the will of God in that time will be terribly demanding. So, you must steel yourself to live courageously.
Actually, the Bible says that about all time periods. The Scripture has advised believers in every generation in history to "quit you like men (1 Cor. 16:13); to Be strong and of good courage" (Joshua 1:6); and also:
"Stand therefore, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace" (Eph. 6:14-15).
The Bible calls for intrepid people in every age, but that tremendous valor will be even more in demand, during the days of the Tribulation. I hope that you deeply resolve to live courageously for Christ no matter what! And that no matter what may well take place in your own life.
"Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Eph. 6:10-11).
That advice is never more applicable than during those days in which the Tribulation has come to pass. Prepare yourself-steel yourself-to live courageously.
