 Jesus Tries Us Because of Love and Makes Us Rich with Faith and Love ㅡ

  “I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.”  (Revelation 3:18, 19) 

  However rich we may be in earthly treasure, all our wealth will not enable us to buy the precious remedies that cure the disease of the soul called lukewarmness.  

 The gold here recommended as having been tried in the fire is faith and love. 

  It makes the heart rich; for it has been purged until it is pure, and the more it is tested the more brilliant is its luster. 

  The white raiment is purity of character, the righteousness of Christ imparted to the sinner. 

  This is indeed a garment of heavenly texture, that can be bought only of Christ for a life of willing obedience.
