I think you are right in we can be martyred or suffer persecution and that is in the perfect will of God, but God’s covering is and can be about more than our spiritual safety. Without God’s grace we would cease to take another breath.
Absolutely. God keeps us in existence from one moment to the next.
I get annoyed when I tell people I think Obola wants to kill all of us, and people say, “Oh! Have faith!”
The faith tells me Jesus died, and rose from the dead, and will come again at the end of time. There’s nothing in the faith that says Obola can’t kill all of us.
