Jeremiah faced this reality as a prophet, yet trusted in God to stand by Him.
Jesus consoles His disciples not to be afraid of those who kill the body but can't touch the soul, because God cares for them. So they are called to be bold in proclaiming the message about the reality of God.
St. Paul lived out what it means to be a disciple, proclaiming the message God gave Him even when facing those hostile to it. He was truly rooted in the message of the God who reversed the curse of sin that brought death from the time of Adam by sending His Son to save us and bring us life by an abundant, overflowing gift.
Now, if we deny God, we'll be eternally separated from Him and suffer grave consequences to body and soul. Yet if we are true to Him and proclaiming His Word, He promises to preserve us for Eternal Life.
