Biblical Counseling Keys on Trials (A. What is the Purpose of Trials?)
A fiery trial through which your character is refined, as gold is refined (implies suffering)—“Do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.”
1 Peter 4:12 (KJV)
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
“The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. (1 Peter 5:10)
