Justification by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone will clear all the confusion of believers faith in Jesus Christ. Believers will also rejoice in the long sufferings - they will rejoice in their sufferings, afflictions, persecutions, rejections and all various trials that may press in on them; because these long sufferings will help all the believers to be redeem in Christ. This may include many things such as the pressures of financial, or physical and spiritual needs, circumstances, beyond their control, sorrow, sickness, mistreatment or loneliness. While believers are going through all this long suffering, God's grace will enables them to seek his face more and more diligently and will surely produce in them a persevering spirit and a godly character that will reveal how close and matured they are in the Lord with Christ's hope that never disappoint. They will be able to focus on the Lord and his righteousness, leave everything in his hands.
