Testing

This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

HEBREWS 4:15-16

In this life, we will face many situations where our faith will be tested. But how wonderful is it that Christ can empathize with our weaknesses since he, too, was tested during his time on earth? God uses testing to purify us and move us into spiritual maturity. As we overcome these trials, we will find ourselves with a more committed faith, deeper wisdom, and a more intimate relationship with God.
