Genuine Faith

1 Peter 1:7-9 - "These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls" 

Trials come to test our faith and refine our faith. It is easy to believe God when everything is going well. Trials will either strengthen our faith or destroy our faith. Yet, it always tests the genuineness of our faith. If our faith is genuine, it will past the test. Genuine faith results in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. In other words, when faith is proven and stands the test of time and trials, we will be rewarded. We will receive glory and honor with Jesus and give Him praise. The end result of our faith is salvation. Saving faith is the most important faith. There is much talk about miraculous faith, but nothing is greater than saving faith.
