How to Come Out of Testing and Trials

Romans series continuation: trials are optional when you know who you are in Christ. James 1:13, Matthew 17 (“Hear Him”), and a clear identity checklist — righteous, forgiven, loved, no condemnation — show how Jesus came out of testing and how you can too.

Old covenant vs new covenant thinking is contrasted so your focus, priority, and direction change — not by striving, but by hearing the word. Ends with: this is the goodness of God.

Key passages: Romans 1 · James 1:13 · Matthew 17:5 · Matthew 4 (temptations of Christ)
