There are three tests in your life of faith that you undergo at the risk of your life. They are the test from Satan, the test from the saints and sages, and the test from the angels. Unification Church members may be allowed to freely pass these tests. On the way to God, when we seek God and the way of faith, who dares to get in our way? Unknowingly, doubt will block your way. Then sin will block your way. Unexpectedly, the force of death will block your way. So we must go over the path of doubt, the path of sin and the path of death. Are you the possession of God? How? To select the best person through a test, the test should be difficult, not easy. A good teacher thinks of difficult test questions, not easy ones. Isn't that right? Does a good teacher allow students to pass easily? Then do you think God is a good teacher, an average teacher or a bad teacher? He is absolutely a good teacher. Since He is absolutely a good teacher, what kind of test questions would He make? They would be absolutely difficult questions. When God and Satan question each other, God will ask, "Hey, Satan, can you do this?" Satan will say, "Of course, why couldn't I do that?" When Satan asks God, "What about you, can you do this?" God should say, "Yes I can do that." If God said, "I cannot do that," what would you think? It shouldn't be that way. When God thinks of the way to subjugate Satan, what kind of method would He think of? What does Satan hate most? This is the question. There are groups who like what God likes, and groups who like what Satan likes. Are there any students who like tests? Have you ever met that kind of person? No student likes tests, but they are necessary. Don't you think so? Even though you don't like tests, they are inevitable. Then, where is the place that God gives you tests and homework? Where is the place that Satan gives you tests and homework? You have to know this. God's testing place and Satan's testing place cannot be the same place. Where are those places? This is simple. The outside world is Satan's testing place; the inside world is God's testing place. What kind of test will God give, and what kind will Satan give? They are extreme opposites.
