When one has a teacher teaching them to do mathematics they are later tested ,where they are given some sums to work them out.They have to follow the procedure that the teacher taught them in class or else they will fail and hence be disqualified to continue with the class.The same is in salvation.When we believed Jesus as savior we have to make our faith grow according to the word of God which is the procedure that tests us .Faith come by hearing and by hearing by the word of God. .Salvation is not a one day thing but you have to work it out daily.Growth is a process that takes time. "Who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a time, if necessary, you may have to suffer griefs through many trials, So that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tried with fire, might result in praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him though you do not see him now, but believe in him, you rejoice with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory, Receiving the end of your faith the salvation of your souls ". 1 Pet 1 5 9.
