In this lesson we learn why courageous faith is the best defense against suffering for faith. It is easy to say that one is a Christian if there is likely not to be any retribution for such belief. In many places in the world today, there is a price to pay for faith, as there was in Philippi. Paul called on the Philippians to live the kind of life that was ready to suffer for the sake of Christ. Covers Philippians 1:27-30.
