A Goldsmiths Job is to first take a piece of gold and put in water or some kind of oil so they can clean it. The point of this is so that all the impure things and dirt rise too the top for the goldsmith to take out and make the gold clean. Its like the same thing with God.
He takes us and cleanses us from our sins when we repent and give up our earthly desires. Gods grace is so significant that he just takes our sins, our impurities and dirt, and throws them away. Allowing us to be his treasures, his pieces of gold. See when God puts us through the cleansing process its too see if our faith is genuine gold or false (fools gold).
Exodus 19:5-6 (New King James Version)
"Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine."
One pastor once said "Christians are like tea bags, to see what flavor they are you have to put them in hot water". When God puts us through storms and hard times its a testing of our faith. Will you turn out with a genuine and stronger faith or are you a fake. Are you going to trust God? Or rely on the worldy things to heal the pain; which really makes things worst.
What flavor tea bag are you as a christian? Are you fools gold or a genuine gold?
