The martyrdom of Stephen is a realization for the believers of God to identify that suffering will be mandatory to be tolerated by them while spreading the word of God and declaring the name of the true God. Stephen’s story provides insights about the way in which God has designed the lives of His faithful servants/believers. This is because God wants His believers to suffer as God knows that the nonbelievers of God will not let the believers live freely and safely while declaring about the true God.
