Trial

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the Glory of the celestial is one, and the Glory of the terrestrial is another. - 1Co 15:40

How that in a Great Trial of affliction the Abundance of their Joy and their deep Poverty abounded unto the Riches of their liberality. - 2Co 8:2

And others had Trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yes, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: - Heb 11:36

Being willing to suffer Persecution for the Truth is proof of HeartFaith .

That the Trial of your Faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with Fire, Might be Found unto Praise and Honour and Glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: - 1Pe 1:7

God loves to see us operate in Faith as He does. The purer the Faith the closer to God we come ( Heb 11:6 ).

Our Faith is what we Believe about God's Word and His Nature . Jesus came to reveal the Truth and God's Nature of Love .

The Trial of our Faith is the attack of the Enemy to get us to Doubt God's Word and His Goodness ( Gen 3:4,5 ).

When we stand fast in His Word and Goodness our Faith enables us to Appropriate all the Blessings of Grace ( Joh 15:7 ). In that sense we have something more precious than gold.

Jesus said that we are His Disciples indeed if we Abide in Him and Do His Word ( Joh 8:31 ).

Unfortunately, Many Christians Doubt the WordOfGod or impune God's Character by not Believing the Truth in their Heart . They Fail in the Trial and so are unable to Appropriate the Blessings of GraceThroughFaith .

When Jesus Returns He will be looking for Faith ( Luk 18:8 ). Those in Faith will be glorified by Him and with Him ( Rev 20:6 ).

Beloved, Think it not strange concerning the fiery Trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: - 1Pe 4:12

The GreatTribulation is ahead but for those InChrist it will be an opportunity to Glorify Christ .
