God’s Trial, Success, Love, Lust and Self-Sacrifice

Comprehending the truth behind God’s challenges

Many people often think of the Bible as a best-selling book that’s filled with dynamic characters and amazing stories. But Bible is much more than being a mere book. It teaches people about God and His expectations from the mankind and the way to salvation. Keeping in mind the fact that God’s word is constant and consistent, it always tells people how to live their lives.

Life is full of challenges and many people resent their problems instead of pausing to think how God’s trials may benefit them. Here’re some ways how God’s challenges can benefit one.

God’s tests help one to travel in a new direction and get motivated to change. Some lessons can only be learned through failure and pain. Sometimes, people only learn the true value of something by losing it.

It can be learned from 2 Chronicles 7:14 that God wants people to be humble. God tells that when people put aside their ego and ask for forgiveness of their sins, they can obtain the most beautiful blessing of the heaven.

In the Old Testament, it’s told in Numbers 32:23 that sins of people will be made known and catch up to them because there’s nothing secret before God.

Though the types of God’s challenges may be different, God is always at work in people’s lives – even when they don’t recognize it. God’s trials will be there with different kinds of troubled times but only those who’re able to find out His intentions will be able to strive and emerge the winner.
