I would paste some Words from Scripture that, for me, explains why we see historically the increase in Faith in Christ in the populations around the known world. They indeed were walking in the Faith once delivered to the Saints and they were willing to die for this Faith instead of recant, well some of them held to the Faith:
2Sa 22:28 You save a humble people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down. 2Sa 22:29 For you are my lamp, O LORD, and my God lightens my darkness. .................................Col 1:3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, Col 1:4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, Col 1:5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, Col 1:6 which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing--as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth, Col 1:7 just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf Col 1:8 and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
