In life’s journey, we often encounter failures from our past that can serve as valuable lessons for our faith and life in general. During these challenging times, we truly learn about ourselves and draw closer to God.

I Firmly Believe That Even In My Darkest Moments, God Allowed Certain Struggles, Like My Battle With Drug And Alcohol Addiction, As Well As Other Issues, Including My Divorce, To Act As Catalysts For Spiritual Growth. Through The Trials We Go Through, God Calls Us Towards Him, Urging Us To Test Our Faith And Discover Its Resilience Through The Strength Of The Holy Spirit!

Addiction tested my faith. While it may be daunting at first glance, testing our faith allows us to discern whether we are walking steadfastly on the right path or becoming complacent in our beliefs. God’s word assures us that He never tempts us; however, He permits temptations due to His gift of free will bestowed upon each of us. So, let us embrace the opportunity to test our faith wholeheartedly – knowing deep within that it is a divine invitation towards spiritual enlightenment and unwavering devotion. ~ Bill Greguska

2 Corinthians 13:5  Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?

Test Your Faith To See If You Are A Carnal Christian!

 

Test Your Faith And Bible Understanding!

  1. Can a person go to heaven unless they are without sin like God?
  2. Can you know for sure that you will go to heaven before you die?
  3. Are the Ten Commandments given to show people that they are sinful?
  4. Is the most important division in the Bible is the Old and the New Testament?
  5. If I had accepted the gift Christ gave me when he died on the cross for my sins, does that guarantee me eternal life with God?

 

Answers To The 5 Test Questions Above!

1. Can A Person Go To Heaven Unless They Are Without Sin Like God? 

TRUE

1 Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men.

Romans 3:22 “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

Romans 3:10 “There is none righteous, no, not one.” 

According to the verses above, to be righteous would mean that we would be as good as God, which none of us are.  So if we are all unrighteous, and no guilty person can dwell in the glory of God in his kingdom, how will we ever get to heaven? 

 

2.  You Can Know For Sure That You Will Go To Heaven Before You Die? 

TRUE

Ephesians 1:13-14  And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

If eternal life could be lost after it was possessed, it couldn’t be called eternal, could it?  Ephesians 1:13-14 teaches that “after that, you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also, after that ye believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession,”   

 

3.  Are The Ten Commandments Given To Show People That They Are Sinful?  

TRUE

Romans 3:19-20 makes it very clear that the law (10 Commandments) is given so “that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.” “…By the deeds of the law, there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” 

 

4.  Is The Most Important Division In The Bible Between The Old And New Testament?

 FALSE

Acts 3:21 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.

Romans 16:25 Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past.

Colossians 1:26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.

 

5. If You Decided In Your Heart To Accept, The Free Gift Christ Gave You When He Died On The Cross For Your Sins, Does That Guarantee You Eternal Life With God? 

TRUE

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel, you are saved if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received, I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.

2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him, we might become the righteousness of God.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Test Your Faith And Grow!

Test your faith today. Your behavior and reaction to stressful situations will show you and others how strong your faith is.

Ask yourself if you are living out your faith.

Test your faith today to grow in knowledge and faith in Jesus Christ and help yourself prepare for the future.

Until my faith was tested back in high school and later on in my adult life in 2005-07, while being dragged through a divorce, I did not want to.

I did not realize how strong my faith was until it was tested.
