Jesus promised His followers would face opposition, not a trouble-free life. In Acts 4, Peter and John demonstrated how to respond when challenged for their faith - seeing opposition as an opportunity to witness, relying on the Holy Spirit, and standing firm in truth. God uses ordinary people who have been with Jesus, not just those with formal training. When we choose obedience to God over human approval, the outcome is that God is glorified. Our highest purpose is bringing glory to God through faithful obedience, even when facing resistance.
