“In this you greatly rejoice, though
now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
These have come so that you faith of greater worth than gold, which perishes
even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise,
glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”
It is easy to claim to have faith when
that faith has never been tested. We go through life wishing we never had to
face anything difficult, but the truth is, life is not perfect and neither are
we. If we were perfect, there would be no reason for us to face trials because
we were already perfect. Since we are not perfect however, we must face trials
in order to grow. Just as gold is refined by fire, so our faith is refined by
the trials we face in our lives. But where gold will perish, faith never will.
Trials test our faith so we will know our faith is true.
