And this is where our focus should be as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was about to be killed. He was about to stoned to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a faith that we, as Christians, are called to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our faith in Jesus Christ should outweigh what we face in this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Acts 7:59-60 NLT<br>As they stoned him, Stephen prayed, \u201cLord Jesus, receive my spirit.\u201d He fell to his knees, shouting, \u201cLord, don\u2019t charge them with this sin!\u201d And with that, he died.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>To the end, Stephen maintained a heart of forgiveness for those who were stoning him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Could I maintain that level of faith?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Could I forgive the people who were persecuting me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Luke 23:34 NLT<br>Jesus said, \u201cFather, forgive them, for they don\u2019t know what they are doing.\u201d And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way that we can exercise this type of faith is with the Spirit of God dwelling in us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Psalm 86:5 NLT<br>O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We can do this by study and application of God&#8217;s Word with a submitted heart to Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Joshua 1:8-9 NLT<br>Study this Book of Instruction continually.
