A Christian Martyr is one who chooses to suffer death rather than to deny Christ, or His work...

Sacrifices something very important to further the Kingdom of God...

Endure great suffering for Christian witness.

The Holy Bible says,

This is to fulfill what is written in their Law:

'They hated Me without reason.' (John 15:25; Psalm 69:4).

Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. (Philippians 3:18).

Jesus Christ said, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." (John 15:18).

If you belong to the world, it would love you as its own.

As it is, you do not belong to the world,

but I have chosen you out of the world.

That is why the world hates you. (John 15:18-19).

Jesus said, Remember the words I spoke to you:

'If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you also.' (John15:20).

They will treat you this way because of my name,

for they do not know the One (God) who sent Me. (John 15:21).

Jesus said, "All men will hate you because of Me,

but he who stands firm to the end will be saved."

(Matthew 10:22, Mark 13:13).

Help me Lord, not be among those who "when trouble or persecution comes because of the Word, they quickly fall away."

(Mark 4:17).
