God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Trials are the crucible in which perseverance is forged.

Our perseverance is a gift from God. In our salvation, God blesses us with assurance through His gift of perseverance (2 Thessalonians 3:5). However, many Christians lack full assurance of their salvation because their understanding of assurance is founded on the constantly changing emotions of their hearts rather than on the eternal Word of God.
