How can adversities refine us and draw us closer to God? A fifth way that we benefit from not knowing when the end will come is that it allows present adversities to refine us. ( Read Psalm 119: 71.)
لِذلِكَ حَثَّ بُولُسُ كُلَّ ٱلْمَسِيحِيِّينَ :‏ « مَنْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ قَائِمٌ فَلْيَحْتَرِزْ لِئَلَّا يَسْقُطَ » .‏
