In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found in praise, honour, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Message:
God strengthens our faith in trials.
Summary:
- Our faith allows us to recognise the providence and care of God.
- In times of trial we give priority to our relationship with God, and give thanks to Him for His favours.
