Preaching the true Gospel inevitably invites hostility because the message of repentance and faith directly opposes fleshly, worldly desires. From the brutal martyrdom of the early apostles to the rejection believers experience today, those who faithfully speak for Christ will face pushback. Embracing the cross means boldly declaring God’s truth and recognizing that the world’s rejection of the messenger is actually a rejection of the One who sent them.
Scripture: Luke: 10:16, Matthew: 10:20, Luke: 6:26
