The fiery trial brings out the gold of the new nature.
"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:"
The fiery trial brings out the gold of the new nature in Christ.
When Christ is our life then we will encounter opposition;
we will face persecution;
and we will go through trials and tribulations.
We are more than conquerors in Christ.
We must put on Christ in our daily life.
His armour equips us to stand in spiritual warfare.
His word makes us steadfast in trials.
His Spirit causes us to rejoice in persecution.
The fiery trial will make the love of Christ increase in us;
it helps our faith grow stronger;
and lets the beauty of Jesus be seen in us.
