“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” (James 1:2-3, NKJV)

Jame’s readers are spread throughout the are of the early church’s expansion, but no matter where they are, they share the same duties as Christians everywhere in the world. One of these duties requires them to do something that by nature is very difficult, that is, take on the trials of life with joy.

This joy comes from knowing that trials help Christians to develop endurance thus, strengthening their character.
