Please read this testimony of these true Christian believers. Can you testify that you are like them? Have you lost all fear of death? Can you take physical and verbal abuse from people - like these Christians did - and not have any anger towards them at all?
"Wesley was on a ship bound for America that also carried a number of Moravian missionaries. He was challenged by their great seriousness and their humility in performing for other passengers the most servile tasks, which none of the English passengers would do. When they were offered pay for this, they refused, replying that ‘it was good for their proud hearts,' and ‘ their loving savior had done more for them.' Some of the passengers abused them terribly, even striking them or knocking them down, but they would never strike back or even take offense. Many perceived these German missionaries as cowards until a great storm broke over the ship. As the main sail split and the sea began to pour into the ship, the English panicked, their terrified screams rising even above the tumult of the storm. Yet the Moravians sat quietly, singing their hymns. Afterwards, when one of the Moravians was asked if he was afraid during the storm, he answered ,'I thank God, no.' Then he was asked if their women and children were afraid, and he replied,' No; our women and children are not afraid to die.' Wesley recorded this in his diary and added:' From them ( the Moravians ) I went to their crying trembling neighbors, and pointed out to them the difference in the hour of trial, between him that feareth God, and him that feareth not. At twelve the wind fell. This was the most glorious day which I have hitherto seen.'"
If you are like them, then you have a living faith in God. If you are not like them, you are still lacking faith.
