No matter what we suffer here, we shall see heaven. D. Trials are not meant to produce anger or bitterness. A spiritually mature Christian who possesses overcoming faith will rejoice in trials. Our Christian joy is produced by the Holy Spirit and is not dependent on circumstances. Many Christians lose their joy when they have a flat tire, can't pay a bill, have a family argument, are made fun of at work, etc.
Patience means endurance, staying power.
Through our trials God wants to increase our endurance. Marathon endurance runners torture their bodies to teach themselves to endure the marathon race. They teach themselves to handle the pain, the distance, the pace, the length of time, the overcoming of the need to rest. God is trying to produce in us an overcoming, long lasting, durable faith. Many Christians quit when their faith is tried.
