Living as a Martyr Pt 7
Define martyr = A person who voluntarily suffers death as the penalty of witnessing or refusing to renounce a religion.
Martyrdom is about dying for your biblical beliefs but to live as a martyr is to spend your life living for those same beliefs. The most effective way to live as a martyr has less to do with living against something and is driven by living for something.

Matthew 7:7-11 ESV
- God doesn’t give because the gift is good, He gives because it’s good for you.
