God will use persecution to show His justice. He will make you "worthy" of His Kingdom, for which you are suffering, and in His justice He will punish those who persecute you.   (2 Thess. 1:5,6)
 
REMEMBER that your heavenly Father to whom you pray...has no favorites when He judges. He will judge OR reward you according to what.... YOU do!  Live in reverent fear of Him.   (1 Peter 1:17)

Because... God is completely... Honest and Just in His dealings with all of us.
 
God has His requirements for us.
