TESTS AFTER BAPTISM...

 

#CLARIFICATION #BIBLICAL PASSAGES #trials

Many do not talk about it, but it is necessary that the new (a)converted know about how his trajectory will be from the baptism in the waters (burial of the old creature). As it was with Jesus, he will be with us. Not so that he is afraid, but rather, he is prepared to cross adversity, deserts and all the opposition he will encounter on the way. The Bible says that after the baptism, Jesus was led into the desert to be tempted by the devil Matthew 4:1-11. This occurs in the life of every Christian. Of the new convert and of those who have been walking with Christ for some time. There will be moments of affronts, intimidation, deserts, pain, scarcity, however, there will be in all the days of our lives, the promise that Jesus will be with us until the Consummation of the centuries Matthew 28:20. And the purpose of these trials is the approval and perfection of our faith in Jesus!

The trial is the time when our faith is tested. In difficult times we can abandon Jesus or continue to believe in him. The trial shows whether our love for Jesus is true or just a selfish and selfish attitude.

No one likes to go through trials but these moments help to mature and strengthen faith. Anyone who has overcome an ordeal finds more strength in Jesus. Suffering does not last forever and one day we will receive the reward for enduring the ordeal.

ordeal in the bible

Happy is the man who perseveres under trial, because after being approved he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

James 1:12

Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And perseverance must have complete action, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

James 1:2-4

The Lord tests the righteous,

but the wicked and the one who loves injustice,

his soul hates it.

Psalm 11:5

The crucible is for silver

and the oven is for gold,

but the Lord tests the heart.

Proverbs 17:3

For you, O God, have put us to the test

and refined us like silver. You made us fall into a trap

and upon our backs you laid burdens. You let the enemies ride

over our head;

we went through fire and through water,

but to a place of plenty you brought us.

Psalms 66:10-12

In this you rejoice, though now, for a little while, you must be grieved by all kinds of trials. This is to prove that your faith, much more valuable than gold that perishes even if refined by fire, is genuine and will result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

1 Peter 1:6-7

"Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way through the wilderness these forty years, to humble you and to test you, to find out your intentions, whether you would obey your commandments or not.

Deuteronomy 8:2

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fire that arises among you to test you, as if something strange were happening. But rejoice as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed, you may also rejoice with great joy. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, happy are you, for the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God, rests on you.

1 Peter 4:12-14

I served the Lord with all humility and with tears, being severely tried by the conspiracies of the Jews.

Acts of the Apostles 20:19

Those that fell on the rocks are those who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but give up in the hour of trial.

Luke 8:13

So, as the Holy Spirit says:

"Today, if you hear

his voice, do not harden your heart,

as in the rebellion,

during the time of trial in the wilderness, where your forefathers

they tried me,

putting myself to the test,

despite the fact that for forty years

have seen what I did.

Hebrews 3:7-
