Thematic Bible
Spiritual » Refining » The refining influence of afflictions
Because he knows the road on which I travel, when he had tested me, I'll come out like gold.
And I will bring that surviving third through, testing them as if through fire, purifying them like silver, assaying them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, "This is my people,' and they will say, "The LORD is my God.'"
For you, God, tested us, to purify us like fine silver.
When I turn my attention to you, I'll refine your dross as in a furnace. I'll remove all your alloy.
Look, I have refined you, but not like silver; I have purified you in the furnace of affliction.
Therefore, this is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: "Look, I'm about to refine and test them. Because they're my people, what else can I do?
he will sit refining and purifying silver, purifying the descendants of Levi, refining them like gold and silver. Then they'll bring a righteous offering to the LORD.
so that your genuine faith, which is more valuable than gold that perishes when tested by fire, may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus, the Messiah, is revealed.
Dear friends, do not be surprised by the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
