A martyr is one who suffers for the sake of a righteous principle. We must all make sacrafices in our lives to help build up the Kingdom of God, even to the giving of our very lives if it be so. One does not go out looking to be a martyr, but must be prepared to sacrifice all if needs be for what we believe in..
