Compare Genesis 2:16-17 and Proverbs 3:1-18. How does God warn and test humanity? What choices bring life, and what choices harm the partners and the partnership?

How does the serpent exploit and test humanity’s choice in Genesis 3:1-5? How do humans respond in this circumstance, and what is the result (see Genesis 3:6-24)?

Read Genesis 12:1-20, 15:1-7, 16:1-5, 21:1-19, and 22:1-19. How does God invite Abram and Sarai into a partnership, and what does he provide for them? How does God test Abram and Sarai? What choices do Abram/Abraham and Sarai/Sarah make, and what are the complicated consequences?

These and other biblical stories ultimately lead us to Jesus, the one who passed the test on humanity’s behalf. What test does Jesus face, and how does he pass through it (see Matthew 4:1-11 and 26:36-42)?

We may never face Roman execution, but we do encounter painful situations and decisions. How does Jesus’ example affect the way we face tests and choices today (see Hebrews 12:1-17)? What questions remain unanswered for you?

God ordains tests for us, not for his sake, but for ours. He ordains tests today just as he did in the Old Testament with the testing of his people, and in the New Testament with the testing of the disciples.

In Paul's letter to the Romans, Paul notes that God searches our hearts to see how the Holy Spirit has been moving in us. Like the Pharisees, we test God, but God also tests us. God searches our hearts, our souls, and minds.

Throughout the Torah God repeatedly tests his covenant partners to see if they are willing to live by his wisdom. We see this testing in the stories of Abraham, Moses, and the nation of Israel.

God test Abraham: Genesis 22:1-2
**Moses: **Exodus 32:11-24

Moses' test was in his ability to overcome the obstacles in front of him and to rely on his faith and goodness to free the Israelites. This theme of test relates to the story of Huckleberry Finn. On his journey with Jim on the river he is tested, and his faith is tested often.

The nation of Israel: Judges 2:21-22

God is allowing the testing to provide an opportunity for the Israelites to prove themselves before God.  Judges 3:1-2 says, “Now these are the nations which the Lord left, to test Israel by them (that is, all who had not experienced any of the wars of Canaan; 2only in order that the generations of the sons of Israel might be taught war, those who had not experienced it formerly).”

God routinely tests people, but not so He will learn what they will actually do, because God knows all things (1 John 3:20).  Instead, it is for the strengthening and purification of the faith of God’s people so they might learn and grow through the test.
