Whether you are a Christian or not, hearing about people being persecuted because of the faith that they cling to probably upsets you. The more educated you are, the better that you will understand what is going on in the world around you and be able to take steps to protect Christians and all who are being mistreated for their faith.

The World Needs to Be Educated About Persecution to Take a Stand
If you don’t hear about those who are being persecuted for their faith, you won’t have any idea just how hard life is for those people and how much they need your help. When you are educated, you gain knowledge related to the suffering of Christians around the world. When you have insight into what is going on, you will be able to call out those who are doing wrong things and hold them accountable for their actions. When you have learned about the persecution that is taking place, you will be able to show solidarity with those who are being persecuted and help them know that they have your support. The more that people like you learn about what is happening around the world, the easier it will be for you to take a stand and make a difference.
Education Helps You Know Who Needs Your Help
The more that you understand who is being persecuted and what is happening to those people because of their faith, the easier it will be for you to figure out what kind of help those people need. You may be able to give financially and see the lives of persecuted Christians changed, or you may take a somewhat risky trip and go to those who are being persecuted for offering them some kind of physical support. You can only fully understand the needs of persecuted Christians once you are educated, and when you understand their needs, then you can step in and help out.
You Will Feel Differently About Your Life When You Are Educated About Persecution
As long as you are living a comfortable life where you are now, and you are not hearing about the Christian persecution on a regular basis, you will live each day without really being grateful for what you have. If you have faith, you will go to church freely and not even consider the fact that there are people around the world who are unable to do that. It is important for you to be educated regarding the suffering of other Christians so that you can see the blessings in your own life and realize that you need to step out of your comfort zone and do things to help others who do not have things as good as you do.
Knowing About Past and Present Persecution Keeps Worse from Happening
Learning about the history of a nation or a religion can help you know all about the bad that took place in the past and what you don’t want to take place again. Learning about past persecutions helps you see how such things started and what you need to watch for in the world around you. Learning about the persecution that is currently happening in other nations helps you know what you need to watch for in your own land, as well. It helps you see how some judge others for being different and how that can lead to persecution down the road.
Gaining an education on Christian persecution helps you know how it starts, the type of people who typically start something like that, and what should be done to bring a stop to it as soon as signs of it start to show up. Education is important to keep bad things from happening over and over again around the world.
It is always good to be educated and to know what is happening around the world. You will not be able to support others well if you don’t know what they are going through and the kinds of conditions that they are living in. Learning about Christian persecution helps you appreciate your own life, feel concern for others around the world, and take steps to bring about change.
