When truth is labeled dangerous and righteousness is called evil, it’s not confusion, it’s conditioning. Scripture shows us that before persecution comes, deception prepares the ground by redefining good and evil. The believer’s call is not panic but clarity, standing anchored in Christ when the culture turns hostile. Faithfulness has always been costly, but it has never been optional. “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution" (2 Timothy 3:12).
