Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

I am going to leave a reminder here to myself. If I am going to go to an Islamic country, where to convert to Christianity almost always leads to abandonment by family, loss of all job opportunities, loss of any chance to marry, and eventually martyrdom, then I myself must hold myself to these standards too.

How can I go up to anyone and tell them to believe in a faith that will lead to their death if I am not also willing to die for that faith also? Why should they believe if I don't have that conviction? The Gospel is worth dying for, in this country or the next.
