How does God test the righteous?

Answered in 1 source

God tests the righteous to prove their faith and increase their trust in Him.

In Psalm 11:5, the scripture states, 'The Lord trieth the righteous,' indicating that God allows trials to examine and refine our faith. These tests are not for condemnation but for strengthening our resolve and dependence on Him. As Peter writes in 1 Peter 1:6-7, the trial of our faith is more precious than gold, which perishes, thus attesting to the genuineness of our faith. God uses these moments to reveal His grace, ensuring that those who are truly His will be sustained and upheld during difficulties, aiding us in recognizing our need for Him.
