In fact everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and imposters will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:12-15)
Who could have dreamed even sixty years ago that the attacks on Biblical Christians would be as severe as they commonly are today here in America? Who would have dreamed back then that the condition of many of the churches would have deteriorated such as they have. I would say Satan must have looked forward to these days with great anticipation.
Christians are not, however, to give up. These verses tell believers to “continue.” They are to continue in the Word and what it teaches. In doing so will result a wisdom that helps each one to find the path to the wonderful goal.
