James 1:2-4
"2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Those who are stubborn will not grow, their only result in trials is to become even more staunch in their rebellion, resulting deeper lack of kindness and empathy. Their heart becomes harder as apposed to the heart of a repentant person who becomes softer and more loving.
James 1:12 "12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him."
Resistance to correction only brings hardness and lack of understanding.
Compliance to Christ in trials brings kindness, empathy and devotion to Him and others.
