on trial and hardships; sin and death, faithfulness

Tweet

"happy are those whose remain faithful under trials, because when they succeed in passing such a test, they will receive as their reward the life which God has promised to those who love him. If we are tempted by such trials, we must not say. "This temptation comes from God." For God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one. But we are tempted when are drawn away and trapped by our own evil desires. then our own evil desires conceive and give birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." - 1 Hames 1:12-14 if we ever experience trials and hardships this is we because we are blinded by our own material desires. yet we cannot avoid this for it is our human nature to desire. we have to have faith in the Lord because faith is our salvation. through faith, goodness follows. ....do your best to add goodness to your faith; to your goodness add knowledge; to your knowledge add self-control; to your self-control add endurance; to your endurance add godliness; to your godliness add Christian affection; and to your Christian affection add love. These are qualities you need, and if you have them in abundance, they will make active and effective in your knowledge of our Lord Hesus Christ. - 2 Peter 1:5-9 i hope throught the above passages i can touch people.
