Question

Which reason(s) might provide good cause for a Christian to "count it all joy" as James says to do in James 1:2-4?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

According to James 1:2-4 Christians should count it all joy when trials and temptation arises, when troubles comes and storm arose as in the case of the disciples on the boat this is because trials and temptation comes for a glory that is ahead, it works patience into believers life, endurance, longsuffering which are fruits of the spirit.

Trials should not be seen as evil but a time to be built up,strengthen spiritually hence, the Joy ahead should be the focus of a believer.

Given that the scripture emphasize that in the world there will be tribulation but as believers be of good cheer for Christ have overcome the world this is the testimony of a believe in distress and trials and that is why James an apostle admonish that believers should count it all Joy for the crown ahead.
