1 Peter 1:6-7 (Continued)

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:6-7 NKJV

This is a continuation of the previous post on 1 peter. This time I will break down verse 7.

ok so on to verse 7

Tes: the
Pisteos: faith, belief, trust
Polytimoteron: of great value

So that the test of your faith, of greater value than gold that perishes, though it is put to the test through fire, may be found to praise, glory, and honor in the revealing of Jesus Christ.

Test: establishes the reliability of something

Faith: complete trust

Perishes: complete destruction

Praise: approval

Glory: great beauty

Honor: high respect

Revealing: making known

So that the test of your trust in God, which has greater value than gold that is destroyed, though it is put to the test through fire, may be found approved, of great beauty and highly respected when Jesus is made known to the whole world. 

~ So, a test examines the reliability of something; whether it works and is real. God wants our faith to be real and to work so he puts us through tests. Our trust in God is even more valuable than Gold. But after we have gone through the test of fire and survived, we will find that we are approved by God, and that our trust in him is a beautiful thing and others will see it too. They will have a lot of respect for you as a person. At the end of time we will see Jesus as he really is. The whole world will. Every one that ever lived will know that Jesus is Lord. ~
