Chris.
Because of the lives of the Believers in the New Testament Church, God gave them favour with the non-believers. Yes, there were times of persecution too but it was not the entire story. We live in days when certain “ministries” make a lot of money out of giving publicity to the “persecuted Church”, it should not be like that! The emphasis needs to be on the lives of Believers influencing the society in which they live through their character and their attitude to the society in which they have been placed by God.
