Jesus has made plain that He demands we speak clearly and openly without fear of what people can do to us. Even if it costs you your life, health, or livelihood. There are five scriptural motivations for us to take to heart in view of the LORD’s desire for us.
- The way Jesus is treated is the way you shall be treated also. This in fact cements us together with Him (Matt 10:26).
- In the end, all truth will be revealed and all reality will be uncovered. Vindication will follow (Matt 10:26).
- Only our bodies can be killed. The gravity of error is greater by not speaking truth openly and clearly (Matt 10:28).
- God is closer to us than we think. He is intensely aware of our circumstances. Be of courage and speak truth whatever the cost (Matt 10:30).
- God has given us specific purpose and there is nothing that can get in the way of that (Matt 10:31).
