How do we know God rewards faithfulness in trials?

Answered in 1 source

God promises to reward faithfulness in trials with eternal glory and deeper fellowship.

The assurance of rewards for enduring faith in trials is firmly rooted in the teachings of Scripture. In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus encourages those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, assuring them that great is their reward in heaven. This promise indicates that God values our faithfulness, especially when it's tested. Furthermore, in James 1:12, we read, 'Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.' Through trials, believers are shaped to reflect Christ more closely, and the future glory that awaits is a direct result of persevering faith.
