The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the heart. (Pr 17:3)
God will test us, and the implication is that it will get pretty hot. In that same metaphor is also a suggestion of his purpose: to refine and purify us, and finally to mold the purified raw material into a vessel both beautiful and useful to him. Some of the glory of the temple was in its gold and silver furnishings, and God allows us to reflect his glory in the same way.
