1. Just thinking about taking a test can be a bit unnerving for some. The heart races, hands get sweaty, it’s not a pleasant place.
2. The truth is tests aren’t reserved for the classroom only.
3. There are seasons in life when tests occur as well.
4. Today, we’re going to study a passage which will give us insight into the “how’s”, what’s”, and “why’s” behind the testing of our faith so that we may pass each one with “flying colors”.

1. After 25 years of waiting for the child that God had promised, Abraham, at the age 100, and Sarah, at 90, had Isaac.
2. At this point, at least 13 years had passed. One would think the only thing that this story needed was the perfect fairy tale ending, “And they lived happily ever after.” They had been through so much. Surely nothing more would be asked of them!
3. Then we read Genesis 22:1 and realize Abraham’s faith would be tested once again.


I. Faith Will Be Tested (1-2)
A. God has a purpose for each test
1. This is the first time the word test is used in
the Bible.
2. The word test means to try or to prove.

3. Spiritually speaking, a test proves faith. Do we walk the talk?
a. Tests reveal who we are and what we’re made of.
b. Tests reveal what we believe.
c. Specifically, tests reveal what we think about God.
d. So, God does not test our faith because of sin in our lives, but to reveal the faith in our hearts.
4. Tests are also designed to strengthen us.
a. Pressure from the test develops our character.
b. Pressure from the test deepens our faith, which strengthens our relationship with God.
