Our Faith Will Be Tested With Fire (1Peter 1: 6-9)

“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. 
Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”
(1Peter 1:6-9.)

Jesus Himself told us that Satan is our enemy, who came to steal, destroy, and kill us. 
St. Peter advised us to be alert and of sober mind for our enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 
St. James in his epistle, chapter one, said “When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.” 
He then continues to explain clearly how temptation conceives sin, saying, ”Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.” 
(James 1:13-15.)
 So Satan is the one who sends trials to make us suffer. 
This pain and suffering is a test of our faith. 
He always bets that our faith will not withstand these trials that he sends us relentlessly everyday, and we will leave the way of the Lord and submit to his pressures. 
But St. Peter is encouraging us that we must rejoice because, though we have been grieved by various trials, and our genuine faith, which is being much more precious than gold that perishes, has been tested by fire, it may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 

So we all must continue resisting the devil, standing firm in the faith, because we must know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 
And the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory in Christ, after we have suffered a little while, will Himself restore us and make us strong, firm and steadfast. 
Though now we do not see Him, yet believing, we must rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of our faith, the salvation of our souls. 
Amen.
