Trials are opportunities to prove the perseverance of the true believer. The important Biblical truth known as "perseverance of the saints is a major tenet of orthodox Christianity. We believe that the saints will not totally abandon their faith, i.e., that they will persevere in believing God through every circumstance until they are glorified. No true believer will fail. 1 Corinthians 10: 13 reads, "No temptation (trial) has overtaken you but such is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." This is so important. Regardless of what you are encountering today, God will hold you tight to Him. He will provide you with an exit strategy to avoid falling away. We all have trials. We all face challenges and we are all tempted to sin. We can rest that as we continue to walk in faith we will persevere to the end. That is a soft pillow at night.
