The Trial of Our Faith is More Precious Than Gold

1 Peter 1:7-9

" 7That the ^atrial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the ^bappearing of Jesus Christ:

8Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet ^abelieving, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

9Receiving the ^aend of your ^bfaith, even the ^csalvation of your souls."

There are many who use the phrase "Life isn't fair".

There hasn't been a phrase more false that this. If this were true, it would mean that there would be no chance for salvation because of our imperfect state and we should be condemned. But the mercy of God has showed us otherwise.

Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ this life is exceedingly fair. Our Savior suffered and died so that we would be able to repent of our sins and receive forgiveness. Life is very fair my friends. We have a just God and through His son we can gain eternal life.

When you have sinned, repent and ask for forgiveness. When you stand in need of comfort, ask to feel His love. Jesus Christ suffered everything we have and will ever go through. He knows the sorrow of sin, the pain of death, the sting of rejection. He can help us! We only need to ask.
