Why God Tests His People
Why does God test people? In this video we trace the repeated theme of testing in the Bible and see how God determines the loyalty and trust of his covenant partners. Though these tests are rarely easy, they offer God’s people important opportunities for growth and transformation.

That’s why being with God is not for the weak like the world thinks but the strong ☝🏽
Beuaituful! Glory and honor to our Mighty God!
Thank you Jesus ❤🙌
I had to look up the etymology of test before fully watching it.
The connecting notion is "ascertaining the quality of a metal by melting it in a pot."
Meaning the connotation is a metal Smith heating an iron ore to remove impurities from it. (Or any metal)
In Japan for instance, the Iron quality was so impure they had to put it in a huge earthen furnace to get comparatively small amounts of pure good raw steel, before then combining the best steels, both soft and hard, folding it about 10 times to get the carbon steel to where a katana wouldn't easily break. Uts still not as pure as modern steels, but from a molecular perspective, a good blade from an expert Smith is near perfect for seemingly primitive technology.
The only steel I'm aware of that's more pure is Crucible Steel, and it's made from a similar process, though the iron quality is usually better already.
To make pure great steel requires great heat and pressure at just the right amounts, and a quick oil quench. Holy crap… you're literally baptizing a blade in oil to properly temper it…
Amen. He is the only truth, way and life. Thank you for this video. God Bless 🙏🏽
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Some Christian got cancer and cannot be healed and died, what kind of this is that?
If you regret your obedience to God, if you regret answering His call like I did – ask Him to change your mind/heart about the situation. In much time or little, you will see that The Lord's call for your obedience was and is for your benefit. Also that the work is already done and God's decision produces the absolute best results. You are not losing when you obey The Lord, you are winning! You work/press toward the win because you work/press for God.
God gives tests. Satan sets traps.
The art is unmatched
This was awesome
I am an atheist but it's still full of wisdom. Thanks for sharing !
The art style is literally eye candy
I always saw it as if you are not tested, how can you know you'll survive when it's not a test?
I think it has what to do with DNA, this is a creation on variations, billions of people have been borned everyone is different and a drop of them have fully understood God's message and had a will to follow Jesus's message. To born, to die, a neccesary step to real second death in the lost of soul so in hell or second life with God presence forever so second life, the true one?
Praise the Lord that He doesn’t give up on us and He continues to pursue us. Even in our disobedience
we trust the Lord because He knows best ❤ now, we can lead on the Earth with Him as our leader even though we fail because of the one who passed the test for us 🙂
What I recognized from the illustrations here is that God's way always looks scarier. It's full of flames and stuff, and the other gate just looks calm and easy. I think to recognize God's gate, and to pass his tests is to always choose the way that needs courage. So what we really need is courage. Not to not be afraid, but to face things even if afraid.
Why will anyone choose to suffer just to live with god ? The test is rigged, after all the suffering does all the happiness at the end justify it ?
No reason to test our trust, he can just give it. And people will say “well that means we won’t have free will” wouldn’t an all-powerful all-knowing god be able to give us that trust and keep our free will ?
🤔 .. no no no.. I kind of disagree. God is not a psicho that puts danger in front of people to "test" them to see if they will trust in Him or not.. TOTAL FAIL ON THIS THEOLOGY..NOPE. YOUR ARE DEFORMING THE CHARACTER OF GOD
Was there death before hell? If there was no hell for sins would there be no death?
great!!🙌🙌🔥🔥
Yea. Exactly.
i dont understand, death is the only end. why do we want to surrender and suffer?……when i watched another video of suffering "job", he suffered without purpose or meaning, why do we want to trust god then?
So this has recently been so profound for me. Temptation has strings attached. It’s not arbitrary.
Does anyone know what James meant though when he says God can’t be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one (James 1:13)? This seems contrary to “Jesus, being full of the holy spirt, returned from the Jordan river and was led by the spirit into the wilderness where he was tempted…(Luke 4:1)
I really need help with this. Thanks!
Edit: … “into the wilderness where he was tempted *by the devil*”
Good video! The only thing is the whistle sound effect feels so out of place. The whistle sound adds a layer of cheap spaghetti western feel and is quite opposite of the thought provoking and insightful message. No disrespect to the sound design team besides that awesome video keep up the good work!
Yet the question remains unanswered.
Be so in love with God’s plan and His vision, that little tests and diversions don’t discourage in His plan
god let the serpent in the garden knowing full well what will happen. What an evil god…
AMEN!
Y'all lost me again 😅
Why would God (Jesus) need to pass any divine test? If He's already God, what is the point of his sacrifice from this logic? 😅
Unless I'm totally misunderstanding 😅
Beautiful 😍 ❤
