As a father of the Chinese evangelical church, Pastor Wang Mingdao is remembered for insisting that the only way to be saved from sin and enjoy eternal life is by God's grace through faith in Christ, even though that insistence cost him his earthly freedom. Although Mingdao experienced a moment of weakness during persecution, he eventually found restoration in Christ and kept the faith through twenty-three years of imprisonment. His courage and strength provide a modern example of how Christians must trust the Lord and remain faithful in times of hardship and persecution.
