Fiery Trial

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

• Temporary

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

• Assurance

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

• Salted
• Offerings

For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
