Jam 1:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : He explains that the reason for joy is that “the trying of your faith worketh patience” (James 1:3 ). When faith is tested, it produces patience—or the ability to keep going and not give up. Just as gold is purified by fire, faith becomes stronger through difficulties. Patience is an important quality for every Christian, because it helps us keep trusting God even when life is hard.
