We are living in a day when more Christians are being martyred for their faith than ever before in history. If you are a believer, you will be persecuted or face trials that will test your faith. Jesus warned that those who do not have a firm root in themselves will fall away in time of persecution. It is vital that we develop that firm root. Jesus provided us with instruction and promises in order to develop a firm root. This teaching examines His instructions so we can be sure we apply these principles in our lives.
