Abraham's love was put to the test (Gen. 22; Heb. 11:17). Israel's love was put to the test. "And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not" (Dt. 8:2). Trials and temptations put our love for God to the test. "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing" (James 1:2-4). If our love fails we will never make it to heaven (Heb. 3:12; 4:1).
