Revelation 6: 9

Good morning! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

Revelation 6:9 "And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:"
The altar represents the altar of sacrifice in the Temple, where animals were sacrificed to atone for sins. Instead of the animals' blood at the base of the altar, John saw the souls of martyrs who had died for preaching the Good News. These martyrs were told that still more would lose their lives for their belief in Christ. In the face of warfare, famine, persecution and death, Christians will be called on to stand firmly for what they believe. Only those who endure to the end will be rewarded by God.

Where are you today? Can you stand up for Christ? Would you lose you life for Christ? Would you die so you would have everlasting life?

In Christ's Love and Grace
