King James Version
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(Matthew 5:10)
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.(Matthew 5:11)
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.(Matthew 5:12)
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.(Matthew 5:14)
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.(Matthew 5:15)
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.(Matthew 5:16)

Dr. Roberto Miranda
Classic Sermon #6060: We are the salt of the earth
In this sermon, Dr. Roberto Miranda discusses how Christians are called to be warriors and soldiers in Gods army, with a new nature that includes power and influence. He emphasizes the importance of establishing the dominion of Jesus with power and wisdom, while also being a preserving agent in society. He encourages Christians to not be afraid and to look the devil in the eye, as demons hate to see the grace of God in believers.

An article about how Christians should expect persecution and rejoice in it for the sake of Christ, but also ensure that any opposition they face is for the sake of justice and not their own sin or offensive behavior. Written by an unknown author.
