Do I really mean that?
6 In
this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to
suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that
your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by
fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus
Christ is revealed. 8 Though
you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now,
you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 for you are receiving the goal of
your faith, the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:6-9
All kinds of trials come so that my faith is proved
genuine. The goal of my faith is my
salvation – my sanctification.
When opposition comes, do I shrink in fear? Do I speak God’s truth? Only in opposition does my faith get
stretched, my spiritual muscles grow stronger, that I mature in Christ. I learn to further rely on God for my
life.
When opposition comes I can focus on the positive or the
negative. I can be paralyzed or
mobilized. Faith is keep on, keepin’ on,
no matter the circumstances. For I trust
God and His plans for me. This led to
two more revelation that I will post soon.
Life Principle: I
need opposition to be strong in Christ.
Only through opposition is my faith proved genuine.
