THE PRINCIPLES OF RISING HIGHER

Rom.5.3 - Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.
Rom.5.4 - And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.
Rom.5.5 - Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God 's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.
