Faith That Stands the Test
“So that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” – 1 Peter 1:7
Trials refine our faith, just as fire purifies gold. But here’s the truth—faith is more valuable than gold!
A man in our church lost his business overnight. He was devastated, but instead of turning away from God, he pressed in. Months later, a new door opened—greater than he imagined. He said, “My loss wasn’t the end, it was a setup for God’s plan.”
Alister McGrath teaches that faith is not about avoiding trials, but enduring them with confidence in Christ. Your trials are shaping you, strengthening you, and proving your faith to be genuine. Hold on—your testimony is being written.
