In the New Testament there are two Greek words that are translated to mean “test”. One refers to testing in order to approve, and the other means testing in order to break. When God tests us, He does so with the desire and confidence that we can pass. But what is the hardest test we could face in this life? Could forgiving someone who has severely wronged us be one of the most difficult tests to endure? Today let’s look at the book of Philemon to see what lessons we can learn about forgiveness and the testing of our faith.
