Hebrews 11:32-40
Because of faith, God’s people often experience amazing victories in this world. (vv.32-35a)
And also because of faith, God’s people face incredible hardships and trials. (vv.35b-38)
So how is it that trials help to strengthen our faith?
- They teach us to depend upon God. (Matthew 11:28)
- They work to refine our godly character. (James 1:2-3)
- They solidify our bond with Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:17)
- They help us develop a bond with others. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
- They remind us to keep an eye on the eternal. (Romans 8:18, James 1:12)
