This goal is not attained as a reward given by a divine grace but as a result of our own realizations of the truth.

The trials which come from God are sent to prove and strengthen our graces, and so at once to illustrate the power of divine grace, to test the genuineness of our virtues, and to add to their energy.

我们可以藉试验来说明上帝恩典的大能，来察验我们美德的真伪，并且增加我们的属灵力量。
