Job said:“When He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.”
[Job 23:10; cf Jas 1:12]
Christ so loved His bethrothed church (wife to be) that He gave Himself for her; that He might sanctify her, and cleanse her with the washing of water by His word; that He might present her to Himself a glorious bride, not having spot or wrinkle. [Eph 5:25-27]
AFTER the promise of everlasting life, to whosoever believe in Christ, now comes the Devil (as God's appointed opposition); to be used to prove that “What therefore God has (made one) joined together, let no man (separate) put asunder.”
[Jn 3:16; Matt 19:6]
God's “eternal purpose,” which He purposed in Christ, is “that He might make known the riches of His glory (which is Christ IN us) in dealing with the vessels of His mercy; which He has prepared (before the foundation of the world) for His glory.” [Eph 3:11; Rom 9:23-AMP]
The Testimony Of The Trial is that GOD IS ABLE to keep you from falling, and present you faultless before the presence of His glory, with exceeding joy. To Him be glory, and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever, Amen! [Jude 24]
