I never really thought of God as the ends-justify-the-means type.

So then why did so many of the early Christians give their life if the ends did not justify the means for them. They went where they knew they would be persecuted, because they followed Christ’s example.

Tertulian said that the blood of the martyrs is the seed that grows the Church.

As a Christian, my end game is for my life to be my offering to Him.

Where He leads me I shall follow, what He feeds me I shall swallow, if my time comes to and end, then my time with Him in eternity begins.

So for Christians, the end does justify the means, as long as the reason is to spread the Gospel.
