Maturity through Adversity

Scripture: James 1:1-4

God is committed to our maturity and sovereign over all. He calls His people to count trials, tests and tribulations as joy, designed to make us more Christlike. Not fun, but effective.

James 1:1-4, “1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings. 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
