Faith under persecution wisdom from Dr Graham
The letter advises not to fear future persecution and to focus on faith today. It notes God’s presence in trials, urges memorizing scriptures for support, and warns that temptation to deny Christ can occur in daily life as subtly as in open persecution. Trust God daily for testing.
