How do we know God tests us through temptation?

God, in His sovereign grace, does not tempt anyone to sin, but He does allow trials to test our faith. Scriptures like James 1:13-14 clarify that we are tempted by our own desires, not by God. The Lord uses these situations to reveal our hearts and to strengthen our relationship with Him. As we endure these tests, we become more reliant on God's strength and grace, affirming the biblical truth that every good and perfect gift comes from above (James 1:17). These tests serve a holy purpose in aligning us with His will.
