Tribulations prove faith the way fire tempers steel. It makes it stronger and shows that it is not lead that looks hard but melts in the furnace of affliction. Effect #3 (verse 4b): “proven character brings about hope.” If your faith perseveres and shows that it is toughened steel and not melting lead, then you have more hope. Why?

Your thoughts made you his enemies, and you did evil things. 22 But his Son became a human and died.

Saints Faith, Hope and Charity ( Latin: Fides, Spes et Caritas ), are a group of Christian martyred saints, venerated together with their mother, Sofiia ("Wisdom"). Although earlier editions of the Roman Martyrology commemorated Saints Faith, Hope and Charity on 1 August and their mother Sophia on 30 September, [4] the present text of this Paul taught about the importance of faith, hope, and love in the Christian life. According to 1 Corinthians 13, it is summarized in the understanding that the things we must seek the most in our walk as disciples of Christ include faith, hope, and love. Wi7tN8z.
