The Preventative God — Teaching 4
Jesus Did Not Test to Discover
He Revealed to Protect and Redirect
🎯 OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate—from the New Testament itself—that Jesus never tested people to gain information, discover faith, or see what they would do.
Instead, what is often called a “test” in the New Covenant appears as a question, asked not for discovery, but to reveal alignment—specifically, whether a person will agree with what God has already made available and allow the Holy Spirit to lead rather than defaulting to self-direction.
