Does God Test Us?

There are many misconceptions about God. There are also many scriptures man takes out of context or makes small changes in it to control others. We must always read the Bible for ourselves and we must do so in the original language. When we read the Bible in the original language we can see the differences. I don't mean you have to learn ancient Greek and Hebrew, just use the tools that we have in lexicons, dictionaries, interliners and etc.
So the answer to "Does God Test Us"? Is no!
Here is where we find the answer:

Jas 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Jas 1:15
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. God tempts no one. We are tempted when we yield to our own lust. Our lust can be many things, not just sexual. Money, power, control of others and more. When we start believing in things that are opposite of what God says, we then begin to fall into our own desires. From there temptation comes and then sin enters in.

Jas 1:17

God only has good for us. Not only that but He is only good all the time. He never does one thing to tempt, hurt or cause any destruction in our lives. Why in the world would He have gave up His Son for us and then turn around and do bad things to us.

I've heard it said many times, my self included, that God let bad things happen to me. No God didn't. Bad things happen because of bad decisions, bad things people do, and stuff happens in everyday life.








Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
