Tested

SUMMARY: There are two types of tests that affect humans the most: temptations and tribulations. Temptations come from Satan or our own flesh, while tribulations are allowed by God to transform our character and bring us closer to Him. We resist being tested, but God wants to prepare us for something greater. Tests make us stronger and move us to a new dimension on the path of faith. God has purposes beyond what we can imagine, and we must learn to wait on Him. Jesus was put to the test of temptation, showing that trials are intended to test our human quality and bring us closer to God. Whenever we face trials, we should look to Jesus and surrender to Him, as He achieved victory over Satan and is always ready to help us.

These days I have stopped to think about the tests that God allows us to pass and I have found that there are two types of tests that affect the human being the most:

Temptations: Satan or our own flesh try to seduce us towards evil, this would not be possible if we did not have the tendency to sin (James 1:14).
