Disciples and Tribulation

In the Book of Revelation, saints undergo tribulation, but the unrepentant Inhabitants of the Earth receive wrath, namely, the Second Death . The New Testament exhorts followers of Jesus to expect tribulation because of their faith. While it may not be an everyday experience in the life of the Body of Christ, neither is tribulation for the sake of the Kingdom unexpected. The chief cause of trials and persecution in the life of the disciple is his or her faithful witness of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
