Would there be any evidence that you're a Christian if they arrested you?

Daniel 6:10-28

10 Daniel always prayed to God three times every day. Three times every day, he bowed down on his knees to pray and praise God. Even though Daniel heard about the new law, he still went to his house to pray. He went up to the upper room of his house and opened the windows that faced toward Jerusalem. Then Daniel bowed down on his knees and prayed just as he always had done.

11 Then the supervisors and satraps went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help. 12 So they went to the king and talked to him about the law he had made. They said, “King Darius, you signed a law that says, for the next 30 days anyone who prays to any god or man except you, the king, would be thrown into the lions’ den. You did sign that law, didn’t you?”

The king answered, “Yes, I signed that law, and the laws of the Medes and Persians cannot be canceled or changed.”

13 Then they said to the king, “That man Daniel is not paying any attention to you. He is one of the captives[a] from Judah, and he is not paying attention to the law you signed. Daniel still prays to his God three times every day.”

14 The king became very sad and upset when he heard this. He decided to save Daniel. He worked until sunset trying to think of a way to save him. 15 Then the men went as a group to the king and said to him, “Remember, King, that the law of the Medes and Persians says that no law or command signed by the king can ever be canceled or changed.”

16 So King Darius gave the order. They brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May the God you serve save you!” 17 A big rock was brought and put over the opening of the lions’ den. Then the king used his ring and put his seal on the rock. He also used the rings of his officials and put their seals on the rock. This showed that no one could move that rock and bring Daniel out of the lion’s den. 18 Then King Darius went back to his house. He did not eat that night. He did not want anyone to come and entertain him. He could not sleep all night.

19 The next morning, King Darius got up just as it was getting light and ran to the lions’ den. 20 He was very worried. When he got to the lions’ den, he called to Daniel. He said, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God been able to save you from the lions? You always serve your God.”

21 Daniel answered, “King, live forever! 22 My God sent his angel to save me. The angel closed the lions’ mouths. The lions have not hurt me because my God knows I am innocent. I never did anything wrong to you, King.”

23 King Darius was very happy. He told his servants to lift Daniel out of the lions’ den. And when Daniel was lifted out of the den, they did not find any injury on his body. The lions did not hurt Daniel because he trusted in his God.

24 Then the king gave a command to bring the men who had accused Daniel to the lions’ den. The men and their wives and children were thrown into the lions’ den. The lions grabbed them before they hit the floor. The lions ate their bodies and then chewed on their bones.

25 Then King Darius wrote this letter to all the people from other nations and language groups all around the world. Daniel 6:10

Daniel had an attitude of gratitude.

Hi angels4u... :)  Yes, Daniel definitely had an attitude of gratitude!  He wore obvious evidence that he was a servant of God in his outward actions, always seeking to honor God with praise and thanksgiving, God loved Daniel's faithfulness and protected him from what King Darius thought would be certain death. 

God does the same for His own today.  Our faith in Jesus is protection against any weapon formed against us (Isaiah 54:17).  We wear His righteousness like a cloak, and His Holy Spirit indwells us.  These things do not show outwardly as did Daniel's prayer routine.  However, Jesus makes a promise to His disciples in Luke 12:11-12: "Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say.  For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say." 

If I'm ever arrested for being a Christian, I fully expect that promise to be kept.  I trust completely in my Savior.  The evidence is in my heart and will be in the words I speak--words that are not my own, but words that my Father wants to be heard.  \o/

Daniel choose to serve God no matter the circumstance  .

There's no doubt in my mind the world likes the Christians to disappear from this earth  because they are a hindrance for their NWO,we all have to make up our mind for who do we choose? This world or Gods promises?

How many people would have to quit their job or will they compromise with everything this world wants us to believe?

do you think in the next life we will say... Oh King, live forever?  

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”:emot-heartbeat:

The way this world is going,Christians might be thrown in a lions den and they are already in many places (figuratively speaking ),do you know where you stand with the Lord? You're either His or you're not,it's not too late to make a decision ,make it before it's too late...today is the day of Salvation :)

@angels4u :th_wave:Hi sis. I was pondering on your excellent title "Would there be any evidence that you're a Christian if they arrested you?" Scriptures with Jesus speaking to this issue came to mind that made it clear that He wants us to stand out in this world. To be, as HE is...a light in this present darkness.

 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:14-16)

Nowadays, we are ALREADY getting to that point of being arrested for staying true to God's Word. The world system is calling it"intolerance."

The laws of the land are rapidly changing. In the medical profession, if you are a doctor and refuse to go along with abortion your job is on the line. There have also been cases of them being lost by those who don't cooperate  with transgender demands for recognition...

Even forcing employees to refer to a 'he' as a 'she' and a 'she' to be called a 'he.' Completely turning the use of pronouns on its head! Not to mention going against nature and the holy scriptures.

To stand up for morality and not be ashamed of Christ is being looked upon by many as so called "hate crimes." Yes, jail will be next. These are sad and sobering times we find ourselves in. :(

What is the "mark of God" on the forehead in Revelations 9:4?

The higher the vote, the further up an answer is. The mark on the "forehead" are those who believe and their minds are controlled by the word and the wisdom of God. It is not a literal mark. Even in the book of Ezekiel the
Lord asks to "mark" those who were groaning because of the evil that was going on in the temple.

Yes - I've marked with about $3000-worth of Christian tattoos (albeit none of them are visible if I'm wearing a shirt).
