The example of the Savior is paramount in how to survive persecution. It takes a strong person to stand for truth & righteousness & not succumb to persecution. It is easier to deny truth to join with peers, but so unjust to ourselves & Christ in doing so. Again I want to follow the Savior & stand always for truth.
Yes. It takes deep character and conviction to endure persecution well and choose friends who help us develop our highest character.
