You are a happy and satisfied man, for the Spirit of the Living God dwells inside of you. You are a man of faith. Because of your faith, you know that you will face trials and tests. Your faithfulness, integrity, virtue and constancy will be on continual trial. Your enemy will try his best to make you slip from your life of faith and holiness back into the realm of sin. He wants to disgrace you and show that you cannot maintain your godly character.
However, you, by your faith, continue to abide in God's word and His word dwells inside of you. You do not flee before the trials coming against you. You persevere and continue to hold fast to your faith in Christ. You do not perish in times of testing, but you last and endure. You do not change, but continue in your stand of faith and trust in God.
The trials that you undergo prove that you are not a counterfeit. The Lord your God holds a high opinion of you and He desires to reward your steadfastness. He wants you to receive a crown, which is the mark of royalty and an exalted rank. This crown proves to the world and to the enemy that you have partaken of the life of God and have become His son. Your love for God remains constant. Therefore, He keeps His promises to you.
