The Antichrist is coming. And when he does come, we should take a firm hold of these words of God through James. Our God will strengthen His people in the faith through the trials the Antichrist brings upon them. Count it all joy, then, that our God will use Satan and all his host to strengthen, not take away, our faith. Our God has a good purpose in all that which He sends upon His church.
Patience is forbearance, having a longsuffering attitude.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. That is what temptations do. They prove that we have faith, or are not living by faith. Our God reveals to us our faith through temptations. He purifies us, even as pointed out yesterday, as silver is purified by fire.
