test

Definition

A test refers to difficult circumstances God allows in a person's life. To "put something to a test" can also be used to mean, "to challenge something or someone for proof."

• God sometimes uses tests to expose people's sin.
• God also sometimes uses tests to demonstrate that people trust him.
• God often uses Satan as the agent of testing in the Bible.
• Unlike God, Satan does not simply test people, but instead he tempts them to sin.
• People do not have the right to "put God to a test" because he is always faithful and holy.
