How do we know that God tests His people?

Scripture reveals that God tests His people to strengthen their faith and obedience. In Genesis 22, God tested Abraham by commanding him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. This was not a temptation to sin, as James 1:13 clarifies, but a divine trial meant to prove Abraham’s faith. God's tests are designed to reveal our dependence on Him and to prepare us for greater challenges. They demonstrate the relationship between faith and obedience, showing that those who trust in God will follow His commands even when they are difficult. Abraham's readiness to obey plays a crucial role in understanding how God tests believers today.
