In this treatise on suffering for Christ, Vincent expounds Rev. 2:10, "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer...and be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." The world and devil are out to persecute the Christian and to stop the witness of the Gospel. All of this persecution is for the suffering and trial of the saints which is ordained by God for specific purposes. This is the perfect volume for someone going into the missionary field to bring the Gospel to people that are outwardly hostile to Christ. It is also an excellent companion volume for the Christian who is outwardly persecuted for his faith in his home, his work or local community. This is not a scan or facsimile, and has been updated in modern English for easy reading. It also has an active table of contents for electronic versions.
