Continued from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArMTCHdgUjo .  Here we see how this Trial looks to God and the angels (1Peter1:12, ironic since I made the audio months ago, but am now posting vids on 1Peter1:1-12's meter)!

Basically, it's important that we are LOW and WEAK.  We become important BECAUSE we are LOW and WEAK.  Odd reason to be important, huh.  Yet don't we make our children important, because they are low and weak?  Aha.  Now you understand the perspective of God and the angels (both elect and fallen), toward us!

Learning God makes us even WEAKER and LOWER, because the Love for God, which is supernaturally BUILT by means of Bible you learn and live on (theme of Paul in Ephesians, 1Cor13, and of 1John) -- this love for God makes you hate yourself, hate life, despair (Romans 7).

So why DO you still love God?  That was the test for Job.  For us, it's even worse than what Job faced, for he didn't have the Mind of Christ (1Cor2), a FAR HIGHER STANDARD of Righteousness than Job could even know.  So why do we CHURCH, still love God?

That's the Trial, here.  Down here, in our puny minds, we are constantly choosing good deeds, the plan of Satan;  or God deeds, the Plan of God -- BECAUSE we realize how low we are.  That's the test, and it's a killer.  It's NOT about sin, that's a given.  It's about wanting God despite being human -- same test as Christ faced, down here.

Now, He went all the way, without sin.  We have our own smaller crosses, akin to His, and of course we do sin.  But do we GIVE UP?  That's the real issue.  Because as weak, sinning humans, we SHOULD give up, that's what 99% of humanity naturally and understandably WILL do.  So why don't we?  That's the intensely interesting question into which angels 'crane their necks' (my pastor's translation of the last word in 1Peter1:12), to watch...
