There are many accessories made of pure gold, which is not only beautiful but also has the characteristic that doesn’t change or get rusty over time. The value of pure gold has maintained since great antiquity.
Pure gold refers to the pure gold which was filtered out impurities from Calaverite and remained without other metals. If the adulterants go out completely through the process of heat treatment in the furnace it becomes high purity of gold.
The process which God makes us reborn as the perfect men of God is all the same with that of producing pure gold. Just like getting rid of all sorts of adulterants mixed with gold in the hot furnace, God let us remove spiritual impurities one by one through various trials in the course of the path of faith and be equipped with the features of heavenly royal priesthood.
Sufferings could be pleasure for us. We are to be born again in a beautiful figure without spot or defect and going to take part in the heavenly glory which will shine forever. Even thoughthe moment we are tested would be painful, we should conquer it.
“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, whichperishes even though refined by fire —may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed” 1 Pe 1:6-7
