Does God test our faith?

God does indeed test our faith, not to cause doubt but to strengthen and purify it. 1 Peter 1:7 elucidates that 'the trial of your faith is much more precious than gold.' Through trials, believers are stripped of self-reliance and drawn nearer to Christ, recognizing their need for His grace with every challenge they face. These trials serve to magnify our faith and reveal the steadfastness that only comes from God. Such experiences remind us that we are entirely dependent on Him and that our faith will not fail as it rests in the power of the Lord.
