In this sermon To Pass the Test - Student, by passing tests we learn that God indeed answers prayer.  His promises stand truly reliable, that he is absolutely faithful. Until we place everything on the line and see God come through, Its only theory. But proven faith increases, preparing us for future service on a larger scale. God always pursues our highest good and our greatest blessing. God loves us enough to allow beneficial pain. God knows that tests hurt, but in love he allows them for our good, at His own personal cost!
