1 | Theological Question | James 1:25 | Monica57 | 104077 | ||
Does anyone know why the Old Testament says that if we love God and obey his commandments we will be blessed and in the New Testament it says that if we love God/Jesus and obey his commandments we will be persecuted? I'm not asking this question because I'm persected. I'm asking a theological question. I would like a theological answer. Thanks! |

2 | Theological Question | James 1:25 | katallasso | 104101 | ||
Matt 5:10-12(a) "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; Persecution, as has been noted, is not the same thing as punishment. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us that persecution because we love God/Jesus and obey His commands actually is a blessing with great reward. |
