FAITHFUL?In the face of persecution, apostasy, falling away, and faithlessness, what were the disciples to do? What are we to do? Our Lord Jesus Christ is hours away from going to the cross, and He is giving His final teaching to the disciples. In this verse by verse Commentary of John 16, we see that our Lord's teaching to the disciples is as much needed today as it was 2,000 years ago. |
In this book, we will look at the apostasy in the church, and hopefully answer some hard questions such as, Will we remain in faith when persecution comes?
What is apostasy in Christianity? What is apostasy in the church? What is the great apostasy or the great falling away from God in the last days?
Jesus addresses the sorrow of the disciples many times in John 16 and shares with them that they will soon face enormous persecution.However, their greatest battle lies within them, as they will fight the spiritual battles of the mind and in the mind with a sense of hopelessness. The temptation for us to quit the Christian faith will wage against us as the battle heats up on all sides. As we experience spiritual growth and know how to do spiritual warfare in faith, may we, having done all else, stand and be declared FAITHFUL!
