For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Trials rightly used help us to mature. God wants our trials to make us patient because that is the key to every blessing.
Maturity is the result of patience, endurance, and the ability to keep going when things are tough.
In the Bible, patience is not a passive acceptance of circumstances. It is a courageous perseverance in the face of suffering and difficulty. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Responding to trials correctly allows us to see the privilege and importance of the position God has given us in life regardless of the difficulties.
