The Apostle speaks of
this time of fiery trial, and, likening the faith and works of a
zealous Christian to a house built of gold, silver and precious
stones, he declares that the fire of this day, in the end of this
Age, shall try every man’s work of what sort it is, and shall
consume all but genuine faith and character structures. But we are
to remember that such loyal characters grow not suddenly, in a
few hours or days— mushroom-like—but are progressive developments,
fine-grained and strong like the olive tree. |
