We know Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness and what he said. God severely tested His son in at least 3 different significant ways. What are those 3 ways?

Didn't God test Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, and suffering on the cross, plus Satan tempting Jesus for 40 days in the wilderness, among other things?

Jesus passed every test with flying colors. I do like how you asked your Question. Makes me think about the Trinity. If Jesus is God Why did he test himself with tests that he knew he couldn't fail. Even if God came down in the flesh and was human, it still does not make any sense for even Satan to tempt the All Mighty. Anyways sorry I got off of your Question. Jesus had many test and temptations, and He proved His self worthy and to be called the Son of God.

Yes, Satan did try to get Jesus to fail - each time, Jesus answered with scripture - interesting don't you think? However, you question was how severely did God test the faithfulness of His Son - He tested Him unto death - Jesus passed with flying colors.

Not at all.You need to realize Jesus as God The Son from all eternity needed no testing.It was for our sake that Satan was allowed to test Him.He needed no perfecting He was already perfect.He laid aside some of His Diety to relate to us,but could take it back anytime He wanted.

Well, he had the power to make the doubters believe...but left them to choose
He had the power to kill every roman guard in the garden....but choose to die
And He (as a human) was dying to tell everyone who he was for 30 years and never did....plus he kept the law perfectly.....thats 4.

We know nothing regarding God. You are reading all this baloney out of a flawed, man-made book. You seem to already be brainwashed. Use your God-given intelligence to examine the validity of the book you may dedicate your whole life to. God did not write, or inspire anybody to write any book.

Satan tested Christ, not God. The three ways were appetite, power, and riches.

life is all about tests. all do not matter. the moment you return back waiting for the result is the only one matters.
