How do we know God tests those He saves?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture indicates that God tests those He blesses for their growth and reliance on Him.

The testing of believers is a consistent theme throughout the Bible, emphasizing that such trials are not random but serve a divine purpose. In Genesis 12, Abraham is tested as he navigates a severe famine, highlighting God's sovereignty in guiding His people through struggles. This aligns with James 1:2-3, where believers are encouraged to count it all joy when facing trials, as these serve to mature their faith and dependence on God's provision. Furthermore, the narrative of Israel’s journey into the wilderness illustrates God's deliberate testing to reveal what is in their hearts and to draw them closer to Him.
