This incredible passage is such an encouragement. It lays out the life of every believer; starting with salvation, goes on through growth and reminds us we have the Spirit to guide us through it all.
It is hard, really hard, to go through Trials. But God will not give us more tribulation than we are able to bear with His grace. It seems like it at times, but He has promised us deliverance.
