*TEST - also see TEMPTATION, PURIFY, TRAIL
In the midst of all our worldly pursuits and interests it is sometimes almost impossible to remember that this life is simply a testing ground, a place of training for the wonders of our eternal life with Christ. (Heaven, p10)
You shall not put the Lord, thy God, to the test.
(2nd temptation of Jesus to throw himself down) (Dt 6:16)
God gives us only what we can handle. (Awakening, p59)
