“But don’t just listen to God’s word.
You must do what it says.
Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.”
James 1:22

The Christian cannot take things in an easy-going way,
for the world is always a battleground between good and evil,
the time is short, and life is a preparation for eternity.
The Christian may burn out,
but he must not rust out.

[William Barclay]

I think this is exactly what life is, life is a proving ground so God can know who can be trusted with eternal life and who can't. I even think this is why God allows bad things to happen, God has to make sure we won't turn against Him. Job said it best when he was being tested, Job said even if God chose to end his life Job would not curse God, Job would continue to love Him.

May we all be like Job.
 
Your thinking on this issue is clear and, I believe, accurate. Our duty is to be "God's Hand extended to the world", and to be patient as we wait for the salvation promised us through our faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
