The essence of the fiery trials is to refine your heart as silver is refined and to try you as gold is tried that you shall call and rely on God as your LORD in truth; and He shall hear you and call you his people. God shall let believers with understanding fall, to refine them, purge and purify them, and to make them “white”, even in the time of the end. (Zechariah 13:9; Daniel 11:35 & 12:10)
The fiery afflictions is not meant to destroy your faith. It works Instead to develop your perseverance, patience and make your faith resilient; that when you are tried you may come forth as gold. (Job 23: 10; James 1:3). Yet the fiery trial of one’s heart of faith is much more precious than gold which is vanity and can perish. Also, unlike gold, the trial of the human heart is precious because one that endures God’s trials of faith is blessed. (Peter 1:7).
