Chapter 7: Who Would Die for A Lie?

Who would die for a lie? That really is a good question. There have been many in history that have in fact, died for a lie, but they believed the lie was the truth. The disciples, on the other hand, emboldened by what they witnessed and were convinced of, died for what they knew to be the truth about Jesus and His divinity. 

Philippians 1:16 “…I am put here for the defense of the gospel.”

"It’s interesting to note here that Paul was writing this letter from prison. He used the words rejoice and joy over and over, and he says he’s there for the defense of the gospel. Even being put in a dirty, dark prison wasn’t going to stop Paul from proclaiming and defending the Gospel with joy. He knew his purpose. It’s always to remind yourself why you are put here."(Manning 2019)
