1 Peter 1:6-10

So be glad about this, even though you may be sad for a short while as you endure various trials.

These prove that your trust in God is genuine, just as fire is used to prove if gold is genuine—even though that too can be destroyed—and your faith is more valuable than gold! In this way your trust in God will be recognized and you will receive praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ appears.

You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you cannot see him now, you trust in him and you're filled with wonderful, indescribable happiness.

Your reward for trusting in him is that you will be saved!

It was this salvation that the prophets searched for and investigated when they spoke of the grace that was prepared for you.
