What does it mean to be polished by God's grace?

Answered in 1 source

Being polished by God's grace means undergoing trials that refine our character for His glory.

To be polished by God's grace signals the ongoing process of transformation and sanctification in the life of a believer. As described in the sermon, God's love actively engages in our refinement, likening our spiritual growth to the process of polishing a jewel to enhance its brilliance. This often involves trials and afflictions, which serve to remove the 'roughness' of our nature. Such challenges are not punitive but are deeply intertwined with God's purpose to prepare us for greater glory and service in His kingdom.
