Second death that true believers and followers of Christ will not be permanently harmed/damaged by, in the end, etc...?
Judgement, etc, maybe, etc...?
Passed over by and from death to life, in the end, etc, maybe, etc...?
The truth, etc, shall have or make you free, etc, maybe, etc...?
God Bless!

To and for me, this whole world is a furnace, but trials and tribulations and difficulties for the most part, hardships, etc...
For believers, not meant to destroy or kill, but to refine and make better, etc...
You know when you are going through trials and/or tribulations and/or difficulties or hardships IMO... Of "any kind" IMO...
God Bless!

Not a comfortable experience for any while and when you are going through it/them though...
But in the end, for the believer, is supposed to bring peace, etc... Joy, happiness, contentment, satisfaction, exaltation and elation, etc...
God Bless!

He who endures till the end, etc...
Or as Paul might say, "I have run my race", etc... (flames licking at his feet maybe, etc)...
God Bless!

The degree or proportion of one trials and tribulations, difficulties, etc, might be proportional to ones reward, or rewards maybe, if they have endured till the end maybe...? Not that that should be our primary reasons or motivations for doing so though...
And they are going to be different (those trials and tribulations) (and possibly rewards, etc) anyway, they are going to not only be "different kinds" of trials and tribulations, etc, but also "different or differing degrees" of trails and/or tribulations for different folks, etc... And then maybe also possibly rewards, etc...
Anyway,
God Bless!

Yeah, I believe it is...
And "faith" will be "tried" in this world, important to keep hold of it all the way to the end, no matter what, etc...
Not that we won't stumble or lose faith sometimes, but as long as we don't completely lose it, or lose it completely, I think we'll be fine I think, etc... Just got to keep it till/to the end no matter what, etc...
God Bless Friend!
