How do we know that saints are sometimes compared to gold?

Answered in 1 source

Saints are compared to gold in Scripture to illustrate their worth and purity.

The comparison of saints to gold serves to illustrate their inherent value and the high regard in which God holds them. As Job 23:10 states, 'When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold,' signifying that saints will emerge stronger and purer after trials. Much like gold is refined to remove impurities, saints undergo afflictions that refine their character and deepen their faith, revealing their true worth as God’s chosen people.
