Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Chapter 5
Mishnah 4
Our forefather Avraham was tested with ten trials.
Why did HaShem test Avraham? HaShem knew what Avraham was like without conducting a test.
HaShem desires a good person’s righteousness to be actively apparent. He tests good people so that their righteous response will serve as a role model for the rest of humanity. HaShem endowed Avraham with many good qualities so that, through his righteous reputation, he would serve as a mentor to the entire human race.
