Why Endure Tests? - R. Yaakov Rahimi - TorahAnytime.com

One of the tests that Hashem threw al was the puk says. Hashem tested Abraham. Why does Hashem throw? Why do we have to go through tests in this world? You know the balananya writes, "If the whole goal of life is for us to be close to Hashem, if the whole goal of life is for us to be holy and be near Hashem, near the shina, then why didn't we just stay in Aaba where our namot where our souls were created and born? Why bring us in this world to the world of tum to the world of so many people who don't want to follow Hashem, to the world that's full of sin, to the world full of evil people like Mam Dani all over the place? If the goal was to be close to Hashem, let's just stay in. Why put us here? Says the whole reason why we're in this world is to show loyalty to how do you show loyalty to God? How do you show loyalty to Hashem? When you overcome a test every day in your life. For example, let's say a person is very hungry and he's about to eat a sandwich or a bag of chips. The is you have to make a you got to make a blessing before you eat. A person has a test. I'm starving. I don't have patience even to make a blessing. Now he's being tested. How loyal is he to Hashem? If you and I'm just giving a small example. If a person makes the blessing properly, it shows that life is not about him and his desires or her desires. Rather, life is about Hashem. And they show their loyalty but not grabbing the chips in their mouth right away. rather bonen standing and contemplating how they want to bless Hashem and thank Hashem they make a then they eat but if a person doesn't overcome that but rather they grab the chips right away that means they're not loyal to Hashem yet and every person has their test and their on a bigger scale smaller scale but why are we in this world we're in this world because things are tough we're in this world because things are hard we're here in this world to work what does it mean to work and show our loyalty The world of calm, the world of when things are not hard and tough is an amaba. But our were barred here to show loyalty to Hashem. So why is a person in this world? We're here. We were built to be in this ro to go through test to go through nishot.
