God does not disregard the testing stage in His plan. He is a manufacturer of righteous character, training Christian soldiers to lead His Kingdom alongside Him. He produces sons and daughters in the image of Jesus Christ, testing every person He chooses to check and improve their quality. He puts them through various situations to see how they endure, how they react in adverse and good conditions, ensuring they meet His high standards of righteousness. He will not accept anything substandard, upholding His reputation as God. Through this testing, He aims to get us to think as He and His Son do, enabling us to react properly to situations and make sound, wise decisions based on what we have learned and experienced. He desires us to develop a likemindedness with Him to rule in His Kingdom. By rejecting conformity to this world and working to transform our minds into reflections of Christ's, we learn and prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. This process involves putting off the old man and putting on the new, clean garments of Christ's righteousness, helping us understand how He works in us, guides us, and opens the way for future things. God's will is accessible through His Word, providing over 31,000 verses of instruction for us to read, study, meditate on, and accept. With the help of His Spirit, we gain an advantage in understanding His will, bringing things to mind and aiding in proper interpretation. His declarations, such as the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, and the fruit of the Spirit, are clear statements of His will, which we must not only learn and accept but also prove through experience. He wants us to put His will to the test, to live it out in real situations, even when it is uncomfortable or challenging, to be convinced that His way is indeed the best way. The key is to prove His will, to test and try it, observing and evaluating its outcomes to see if it meets the standard of being good, acceptable, and perfect. God Himself tests the genuineness of our faith to ensure it stands under pressure, and He expects us to do the same by living His way of life and confirming its superiority. This proving process is not always quick or easy; it often requires time, deep thought, and discernment, especially in relationships where snap judgments can be disastrous. Through experience, trial, and error over time, He provides the data needed to determine if something conforms to His will. Proving what is acceptable to the Lord is integral to our Christian walk, a reason we are called as children of light. As we go through this process, we produce the fruit of the Spirit—goodness, righteousness, and truth—in our characters. We must be circumspect, awake, and aware, prioritizing this testing process without wasting time on distractions, for we do not know how much time we have left. By living according to His will, producing much fruit, we glorify and praise God, allowing our light to shine as a witness to the world.
