Presentation transcript:

I. Why Did Jesus Teach in Parables? To determine who has closed their eyes, hardened their hearing, and allowed their heart to grow dull (Matt. 13:10-17). Paul spoke to the Thessalonians of “God who tests our hearts” (1 Thess. 2:4). Proverbs declares, “The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the LORD tests the hearts” (Prov. 17:3). God tests the hearts (Psa. 7:8-9; Jer. 17:9-10).

II. Why Did God Give the Sabbath Manna Law? To test the people to see if they would obey Him (Exod. 16:1-4). To test them in order to do good to them in the end (Deut. 8:16).

III. Why Did God Speak from the Mountain? To test the people and inspire fear that moves them to avoid sin (Exod. 20:18-21).

IV. Why Did God make Israel Wander in the Wilderness? To test the people to determine what was in their hearts (Deut. 8:1-2). Hardship can be a testing that refines (Psa. 66:8-12).

V. Why Does God Allow False Prophets to Exist? To test and see if people love God with all of their heart (Deut. 13:1-5).

VI. Why Does God Allow Wicked Peoples to Exist? To test and see if His people will obey Him (Judg. 3:1-4).
