It is appointed unto man once to die and following death, we face the judgment. Judgment leads to a verdict. Preceding the judgment is the gathering of evidence; a proving of what is true or false; real or fabricated. My friend, faith must be proven, meaning that it will be tested. So don't be shocked when fiery trials come your way. It is then when you must entrust your soul to God, the faithful creator. "So that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ…obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls." (1 Peter 1:7,9)
