OUR FATHER WHO PROMISED A CROWN OF LIFE TO THOSE WHO LOVE HIM AND WHO PERSERVERE

James chapter 1 verse 2 says this;

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

The apostle James, writing to the diaspora, exhorted them to regard the trials and difficulties they encountered as privileges that gave them the opportunity to persevere in faith which would ultimately make them mature and complete.

The struggles that they endured were agents of refinement that helped them to grow into strong believers and if they withstood their trials and loved the Lord, they would  receive the crown of life that was promised by Him.

Amen.
