If it is true that God gave love to his people by giving them a trial / misfortune / obstacles, the question is how do we differentiate between a trial from God and where the temptations of the devil. Suppose the devil gives temptation but we assume that God was testing our faith. often we are wrong that the God who gives us trials and complain to Him. So many who argue the trials come from God because He is His love toward people.

I have always believed that God is the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful...He will not test His servants what they are not capable of...That is where He shows His love towards His servants...He is undoubtedly able to test His servants anything that may be beyond their capabilities, yet he didn't...Faith is about believing in God, and believing that He is always there when you need Him...Put faith on Him, and you'll see how He shows His love for you, by helping you when you are in need of them most...

The key was at peace. Humans believe that getting the exam but will always feel the peace of God, feel stronger for it, definitely will get God's help and saw the glory of God and not through lying. And will bring men to a degree / leap of faith to know God more.

On the one hand, men have always longed for peace through a religion, but sometimes the affairs of the world always make sure with everything.

Who created the Devil? still, its end we will return to Him who has everything. The temptation of Satan was included trials as well for us. So do not be afraid if you get the temptation of the devil because it is also a trial for you.

I don't know if God "gives" trials and obstacles to test a person's faith, I believe He may allow satan to have more control, but ONLY to bring someone to Him..much like a parent allowing their child to do something, venture out on their own, so to speak, knowing that their child will eventually seek the parent for help or guidance or assistance, therefore strengthening the parent/child relationship or fixing a broken relationship. Therefore, I believe God allows certain things to happen so that we may seek Him, or start believing in Him, and as would a loving, caring parent...help in whatever way the situation requires. But one must also not forget, there is Satan...and too many people put blame on God when they need to remember that Satan is God's enemy...Satan seeks to destroy us, thereby hurting God. Not sure if I helped in anyway, but I hope so, in some way.

God gave the trials that do not exceed human capabilities. "Come to Me all of you are tired, lethargic, and heavy load, then I will give relief to you. " If it means the name is the temptation of the devil aimed at weakening or disruption of human faith in God. Satan happy with us? Devil pleased disturbing and misleading peopl

The temptation is to start enjoyment.if there is no ordeal if you can feel a satisfaction and of course very boring because it's so easy way of life.

Most of the trials, misfortunes and obstacles we come across come purely from our own choices and decisions, either directly or indirectly, or are just random natural events which are not directed at us personally. People who attribute them to God are simply 'passing the buck', which is a great injustice to the person they claim to worship.

I think God looks to torture people to make them stranger. No matter if it has to do with something simple or something hard. Like if it is cancer,hemrroids or the flu. He is teating you! I think he enjoys this! Sometimes I think he is the Devil,too! I feel this way bwcause I have been let down so many times before! A lot of times when I needed his help,he was not around! I still am angry at him!

hello rifnee! The only way to strengthen and sharpen a sword is if you put it in a burning fire, tempering it till it hardens. This is much like with the case of men. God, because He love us people so much that He wants us to be strong and grow in his love and righteousness that he gives us trials, not to make us suffer but to strengthen us. A person who have not experience suffering will not experience humility and hard work.

Actually, there is no difference there. The fact that there is the temptation of the devil is also allowed by God. God is in full control of whatever is happening to us. He regulates things, and in so doing, God has several intentions. It can also be that God is allowing us to prove our love for Him.
