If We Don’t Forgive Others, Will God Not Forgive Us?

Understanding Temptation and Divine Testing
Desires and inner voices can often lead individuals into traps disguised as tests. The distinction lies between tests that come from God and those arising from disordered desires. True divine tests are not fueled by the temptations of evil; rather, they stem from God's wisdom, which guides one away from harmful choices. It is crucial to understand that when one undergoes temptation, particularly of an evil nature, it should not be attributed to God's influence. According to this line of thought, God embodies goodness and cannot tempt or test through evil. The contemplation of this distinction encourages deeper reflection on the nature of temptation and testing, highlighting the significance of discerning the source of one’s trials.
