Why God Tests Your Faith

Why does God test people? In this video we trace the repeated theme of testing in the Bible and see how God determines the loyalty and trust of his covenant partners. Though these tests are rarely easy, they offer God’s people important opportunities for growth and transformation.

Heavenly Father, I pray for all the people who are reading this, to pass all of their tests successfully, in Jesus name. Amen!

The animator who made this is a genius. I love how he depicted the door of God's test surrounded by flames and the one of Satan as a Deep forest. In general, we might think that the Deep forest looks more peaceful and the flames are more attributed to the Devil. However, in this scenario, (from my point of view) God's door with the flames represents the difficulty, the challenges of this test that might burn us at some point but at the end, these flames will become God's glory/holy spirit overwhelming us. On the other hand, Satan's door, which might look easier like a green forest (nothing harmful) is actually the most dangerous one. It shows that the devil has the appearance of being less painful but in reality, that deep forest will cause loss, terror, and despair among those who will enter.

I constantly have battles and tests going on in my mind because I have schizophrenia. Grace and peace to those who are also going through tests.

In a garden we fell. In a garden He prayed, “not My will, but Yours be done.”

I like how trusting God always seems to be dangerous and unattractive in this video, because that's how it usually seems and feels.

That’s why being with God is not for the weak like the world thinks but the strong ☝🏽

“The difference is whether the one testing you has your best interest in mind!” 🔥🔥🔥

Help me Lord to pass the test everytime

Sometimes I feel helpless when I faced some problems and test in my life and because of that, I choose the wrong decision. Then from watching this video I realize that sometimes, I rely on myself too much instead of relying to God. Praise God.

I just realized that adam and eve failed the test in the garden and Jesus passed the test in the garden

"A test could be an opportunity or a trap; the difference is whether the one testing you has your best interest in mind." Love that. Love it!!!!

This is lovely I'm going through a test now and you know how blinded, hurt and alone it can make you feel but seeing this video has strengthen my faith and encouraged me. Thank you Bible project ❤

I'm loving the graphics. Better than the limited amount of graphics I saw as a kid. Because of the technology of this era, I believe children have a much better chance of understanding the Bible. I did not begin to understand the Bible until I became an adult. But you know what, we understand and walk with God at any age. God bless 🙏🏿

I was born a Muslim but I continue my life as a Christian God gave me such a big test that I am still on that test but I believe that I will pass this test with my prayers and your prayers
