How do we know that God tests His people?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible provides numerous examples, including Abraham's test with Isaac, showing that God tests His people to strengthen their faith.

Scripture attests to God's testing of His people in various instances, aimed at refining their faith and confirming His promises. In the case of Abraham, God commanded him to offer Isaac as a burnt offering, not for punishment but to demonstrate the depths of Abraham's faith and trust in Him. This event exemplifies how God uses trials to reveal the strength of His people's faith, as reflected in James 1:2-4, where trials are seen as opportunities for growth and maturity in faith.
