Rom 8:17, 1 Pt 4:13, Mt 10:22, Rev 5:10, Rev 20:4-6, Rev 22:5 Mt 10:33, Lk 9:26, 2 Pt 2:1-3, Jude 1:4
The early church members were persecuted by the Jews because they believed and preached Jesus as the Christ. Since we are God's children, we will of course be persecuted for saying that Jesus is the Christ. We must overcome this persecution. Then you will be glorified with Christ. (2 Tim 2:12, Rom 8:17, 1 Pt 4:13, Mt 10:22)
2 Tim 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
1 Pt 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Mt 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
And we will reign with Christ. (Rev 5:10, Rev 20:4-6, Rev 22:5)
Rev 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
But if we deny Christ, Christ will also deny us. (Mt 10:33, Lk 9:26)
Mt 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Lk 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
In the last days, false prophets will arise to deceive the saints into not believing that Jesus is the Christ for their own benefit. (2 Pt 2:1-3, Jude 1:4)
2 Pt 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
