1 Peter 1:7These (trials) 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 honour when Jesus Christ is revealed (NIV).
Testing helps you know who you really are - your strengths and weaknesses. And it proves to you and God that your faith is real. How has your faith been tested? How did you come out in the test?
