What you need to do is pray and spread the gospel, the end is coming and this world is passing, we are in tribulations right now, and while none may claim to know the exact time, I can tell you that the end is nigh, all you must do is withstand persecution with meekness and love for your oppressors, like Jesus did. He did not kill his enemies, he sought to save them, and gave his life to do so, he healed the wounds of those who cursed him, provided for the needs of those who struck him, and called his disciples to follow his example and walk with him in this. Even if the end is not nigh, your life on Earth is as insignificant as a mote of dust compared to the timelessness of heaven, and any suffering you experience here shall be rewarded in the eternal hereafter. Reject the desires of the world of the devil, anything that can be accomplished by bloodshed or by hatred or by self-preservation is accomplished by playing with the devil's tools. He who makes a toy of evil, is made a slave by it. Reward hatred with love for your enemies, if they take from you, give them more than they ask, if they strike you, open yourself up to them, do good for those who persecute you, and you lump burning coals upon their heads. Welcome the stranger and the lost into your homes, he who comes from far away lands, is owed you hospitality and submission, for when you welcome them into your house and heart, you welcome in Christ also, when you feed the foreigner or stranger, you have given Jesus a meal, when you shelter them, you have given Christ himself a home, when you submit to them, you submit to the Son of God and King of Kings. Know Jesus Christ through knowing the poor and strange. Reject worldly comforts, reject riches, for only a poor man may enter the kingdom of Heaven, Reject worldly freedom and obey your masters in life, for the wages of your bondage on Earth is rewarded in Heaven. Give unto your ruler what he demands of your, bow your heads in submission, but give to God (Jesus) what he asks of you as well, submit to his word also. Taking action violates one, some, or all of Christ's teachings, pretty much all of these are paraphrased from the lord himself, his words to his disciples, and the examples he gave of how to live for him. This is what it means to damn yourself by going against Christ thinking you are make him smile, when in reality that is the devil's grin. He is the father of lies, a great deceiver, he assumes every form to snatch you up, including one that seems holy and angelic. Here you may well fall into his temptation, and violate the commands of Christ while seeking to serve him, because of the manipulations of the lord of darkness. Do you trust the Bible? Do you hold the words of Christ above all others? then you must follow the teachings of Christ, especially when the temptation is strongest to act selfishly. Pray, preach, withstand the slings and arrows, obey, and when your time has come to enter the pearly gates, you will be welcomed as one of the few who understood what Christian spirit stands for.
