Trials aren’t presented as optional in this passage — they’re assumed. What is commanded is our response.
James calls believers to count trials as joy, not because hardship is good, but because God uses testing to produce endurance. And endurance, when allowed to complete its work, leads to maturity and spiritual wholeness.
Notice the progression in the text:
testing → endurance → maturity.
Careful observation helps us see that God’s purpose in trials is not to break us, but to grow us.
When pressure comes, do you ask God to remove it — or to complete His work through it?
