  • Summary

  • "Ironically, true martyrdom is about self-glorification—earning eternal fame for suffering."

    But in reality, martyrdom in the Bible is an act of profound humility, not fame. Jesus reminds His followers of this in Matthew 5:10: "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Martyrdom here is about sacrificing for truth and righteousness, not for fame or recognition. Instead of personal glory, it’s a surrender to a higher purpose, trusting that God sees their faithfulness even if no one else does.
