None of us is there, yet, but every believer in Jesus is on the way. In fact, James goes so far as to say that the one who can trust God without stopping, no matter how terrible the trial, will have arrived at perfection, complete maturity. Namely, more maturity, and more trust in God. Instead, we should make the most of them by letting "endurance"-trusting God through another trial-create the result in us that it always does. James writes that we shouldn't make the point of our lives an all-out effort to avoid trials. However, KJV Dictionary defines the word as To persist in any business or enterprise undertaken to pursue steadily any design or course commenced not to give. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. In all areas of life, growth only comes through overcoming difficulty. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Each experience grants us a deeper, stronger level of trust in Him. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance 4 perseverance, character and character, hope. As a runner gains endurance by suffering through another mile, Christians also gain the ability to trust God through trials. Romans 5:3-5 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience And patience. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. More specifically, James uses the concept of endurance-steadfastness or perseverance-to describe the ability to trust God more and more. Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. In fact, this verse says that perfection-complete maturity-is found only in perfect faith in God. And, from God's perspective, our growing faith in Him is far more important than not experiencing hard things. When we keep trusting God through the trials, our faith in Him grows. Why would God want us to label as "joyful" those terrible moments? Because trials test our faith. Even when we're heartbroken over what has happened, we can trust God to use it to make us stronger. James has instructed Christians to "account" for hardships as joy, because such moments grow our faith. info under CC BY 3.Verses 2, 3, and 4 are all part of the same crucial idea.
