When a metal worker wishes to purify a metal, such as gold, it must put the impure gold through a refining process. That refining process heats the gold in a fire until it melts. It is then mixed with ash and borax to bind the impurities, which can then be removed from the gold. For the believer, the process of removing impurities from our lives, a.k.a., our sins, is called sanctification. Much of our sanctification comes little by little, day by day, as we gaze into the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ (see 2 Corinthians 3:18). However, sometimes, like the goldsmith’s refining fire, our sanctification comes through trials by fire. These trials can be difficult and painful, and they can test our faith. Through these trials, however, God can perform mighty works of refinement to our character so that some of our greatest advances in sanctification often come through these trials. Like the gold that is far more valuable after the refining process, we too are more useful to the Kingdom of God after passing through his refining fire.

This is the story about how God works in the lives of flawed people to accomplish his work in their lives. In the process, he uses them to influence other people and so advance the kingdom of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the story of a loving Heavenly Father who cares enough for his children to do whatever it takes, however painful it may be for them, to make them beautiful.
This is a story about looking beyond the pain of the present to the glory of the eternal. It is a story that needs to be read before you hear those fateful words from the doctor, before you get the bad news from the boss, or before whatever trial is about to happen reveals itself in your life. It has been said that every person has either recently exited a time of trial, is currently experiencing a time of trial, or is about to enter a time of trial. Therefore, every believer needs to understand something important.

God’s grace will never fail.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
