Tested by the Father
Series The Family of God

All true believers are subject to the Father's discipline, which Paul addresses in Hebrews 12. Trials test the saints. False believers will fall away; true believers will be corrected, strengthened, and resolved to persevere. Trials test us to know what is in us (Deut. 8:2). Job is an example of this testing. At first, he remained strong but in his own strength. He began to cave as the trial ground on (Job 19:8-10). Job, however, soon learned that "the testing of your faith produces endurance" (James 1:3, 4). God graciously came to him, and Job repented of his questioning God. He discovered that "He disciplines us for our own good, that we may share His holiness" (Heb. 12:10).
