What does the Bible say about faith being tested?

Scripture shows that every true child of God will experience trials of faith, not to the same degree but in a similar manner. In Genesis 22, God tested Abraham by asking him to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering. This test proved Abraham's faith and obedience, showing that he believed God’s promises even when faced with difficulty. James 2 affirms this by stating that Abraham's faith was made evident through his actions, highlighting that genuine faith leads to obedience, often tested through life's challenges.
