While we will always have opposition as Christians in this world, we must never fear but only trust God and proceed with wisdom, as we continue to live our lives for him.
Though God’s plans for our lives will involve some fearful circumstances, we must be unafraid and resolute about fulfilling God’s calling on our lives as we hold on to his promises.
God wants us to trust him. The Bible goes so far as to say, “without faith it is impossible to please him” (Hebrews 11:6). Trusting God to forgive us, and having confidence in Christ to save us from the penalty of our sins is just the beginning (as the rest of Hebrews 11 goes on to illustrate). We face important opportunities to trust God when
For people who prefer to think of themselves as intelligent, competent, and self-reliant (which is just about all of us), the following words of Jesus likely come as a shock: “Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it” (Mk.10:15).

To trust in Jesus as the sole provision for my acceptance before God is the essence of the gospel. But by definition this gospel cannot be the same as a gospel which allows you to trust in Jesus plus something else. Many are glad when they find those who “love Jesus” and are quick to consider them
We must be prepared and perceptive enough to capitalize on evangelistic opportunities that God has sovereignly placed before us.
As messengers and representatives of the gospel we will experience unjust and costly opposition, in which we should continue to entrust ourselves to our powerful Savior.
We must be mindful of the spiritual opposition we face when we attempt to serve Christ so that we might aggressively pray and dependently trust in the Lord to curtail our adversaries.

Our hope in God – his forgiveness, his blessing and his presence, just to name a few…
