Different: Faith in Trials

1. Trials prove the genuineness of our faith - Genuine faith survives the storm; false faith (inherited, shallow, or conditional) does not.

2. Trials prove God's faithfulness - God doesn't promise to remove every trial, but He promises to never leave us or forsake us (Romans 8:28).

3. Trials reveal God's victory - We are "hard-pressed but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair" (2 Corinthians 4:8-9).
