Lord Rama is the Supreme personality of Godhead as accepted by all great Acharyas...
There are 2 reasons mentioned for this activity
1) Sita devi was forced to live with another man away from her Husband. Lord Rama knew that she was fully chaste and he had no doubt in accepting her back.
But Lord did not want future women to misuse this example of Lord accepting his wife causelessly even when the wife was living with another man. This would pollute the society as most women are hardly as chaste and strong as Sita Devi. Hence to avoid such pollution of society, he asked Mother Sita to pass over fire. It was very well known fact that Fire God could not even touch her what about burning her.
But it was established that those women who want to misuse this example of Rama accepting Sita - in order to justify their living with other man - should take to same test as taken by Sita Devi herself. Of-course if some other women tries, she would get burnt and hence this is instruction for them to be very careful and never live with other man.
2) Another cause explained by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was this. Actual Sita Devi was put safely under the care Fire God, before the Sita haran was to take place. An Image of Sita created by Maya was living with Rama at that time and that image was kidnapped by Ravana.. Ravana infact could not even touch Sita devi without burning into ashes. So when the war was over arrangement was made so that the Maya Sita Devi could be replaced by Original Sita Devi from fire. This description is given in Kurma Purana.

Ram was a god but at that time he was a deity of lord vishnu who actually took birth on earth. even sita was a goddess(a deity)
sita was fire fire tested 2 proove her innocence and 2 proove that no other man has even touched her (except lord Ram).

In the West, they say "The Emperor's wife should be beyond scandals and doubts" ("Caesor's wife" -- rings a bell?!). Same lesson in Ramayan -- The Lord, the King or the Emperor has to prove to the subjects that all is well in his own house-hold: if there is some scam relating to a minister's or celebrity film actor's or champion player's family members, screaming headlines on newspapers and media, demand inquiries, the "full story" for info of the public these days. same situation in Ramayan, more or less: realism, a study in human transactions, sensibilities. Same fire test (acid test), figuratively, in all ages, in human life! It's this kind of realism that make some of the mythological stories (Indian, Greek etc.!) ever green!

though ram was a lord, he might know sita was good, but being humans we dont know that wether she was good or not?, to show that she was good to the humans, ram did like that
