Why does God have to test and refine us? The answer is found in James 1:2-4.
Getting Ready For Tribulation & Starting To Live Right In God’s Eyes
The Apostles were not exempt from going through their own tribulation for the sake of Christ. Likewise, we have to prepare our minds for any hardship that we may face. Even though it might not be evident that it is for the sake of Christ, remember, the devil is working in the background to tempt you with tribulation to abandon your trust in Jesus Christ.
