1 Peter 1:6-7/ 1 Peter 4:12-19/ Hebrews 12:4-12

(2) God's tests are always designed to reveal - never to break.
2 Corinthians 13:5 and 1 John 2:3-6/ Peter's denials Matthew 26:31-75/ James 1:2-5,
Romans 5:3-4 and Hebrews 12:11-12 and Psalm 66:10/ 1 Corinthians 10:13 and Matthew 12:20

1 Peter 4:12

1 Corinthians 10:13/ Proverbs 4:18-19 and Romans 1:18-32
