No doubt about it, we are tested.. as to what our spirit is made of.. Probably for some future event.. But when we leave this life what we are made of will BE KNOWN BY US...

God already knows but what we "are" will be known by all especially ourselves.. Degrees of Heaven and degrees of Hell will be the reward.. I believe.. maybe "CONTEST" is a better term..

Indeed. We see through a glass, darkly but then we'll know even as we are known.

I suspect kosta50's objection is that God is not tempting us per se.

And I agree that God is not doing it to us, we are doing it to ourselves. His justice is perfectly glorious.
