tian is martyred and enters into the kingdom of heaven, he or she will be in the presence of their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  He's the only Reward they look forward to.  Christ is the only reward Christians want or need, or ever will need.  Throughout history, millions of martyrs have confessed Jesus before men, and lost their lives over it. 

Sadly, many Christians today are taking their faith for granted. In churches across America voices ring out, "He's my Rock, my fortress and my deliverer. My God, my strength, in whom I will trust."  Those words express confidence. Those same words convey that we trust in Christ alone as the object of our faith.  He's our rock, our deliverer, our strength.  Given that the Church is adrift in an ocean of biblical ignorance, one can't help but wonder if those who are singing praises in church sanctuaries truly mean the words that go up to God's ears. 

Those who take their faith seriously need to ask themselves some hard questions: Do you have a Savior worth defending?  More importantly, is your Deliverer worth dying for? 

If your answer to these questions are yes, then the next time someone asks you to enlighten him about Christianity, don't give him the "My religion is personal," excuse.  Give him an earful or Truth.
