That Which Is
NOT TESTED
Cannot Be Trusted

When engineering any structure, each element of construction must be carefully validated for its strength and durability. For example in today’s picture, this iron bar is being tested for its tensile strength by bending it the extreme, and if it is found to pass the test for the place in which it will be used, it then can be trusted to perform for its designed purpose. While this is true in the physical world, it is even more true for people that can be used for God’s purposes.

You see, God not only needs people that are clean vessels, but also vessels that don’t have any cracks, clefts, or chips in their character. However in order to know that requires TESTING of that vessel through fire and trial.

Christian, if you desire to serve God, be prepared to place yourself under testing. Working through the ways of the flesh is never easy but the reward is twofold. One you will be more conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 12:2) but more importantly:

“Besides gold and silver vessels there are also vessels made of wood and common things, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will become a vessel for honor that has been sanctified and fit for the Master’s use and prepared for every good work.”
2 Timothy 2:20-21
