The Christian is faced with three basic ways of public identification with Christ. The first is through speech and lifestyle.Another way we identify with Christ is through solidarity with his people, especially those who suffer on his behalf. The third means of identification is with the message, the proclamation of God’s truth and Christ’s life. In this section of the lecture "Navigating Toward Gospel Suffering" Bruce Dick invites you to turn to 2 Timothy 1:8-14, where Paul exhorts Timothy to join courageously with him in suffering for the gospel by enduring suffering for Christ.
