Why doesn't God have faith in us?

The Bible is full of all sorts of tests. Abraham, Job, Revelations. Why did God make Abraham almost sacrifice his son if God knew what was in Abraham's heart? Why did God allow Job to be tormented mercilessly? You can say "God gave it all back to Job and more" But what about the psychological trauma? Why must the world go through a Tribulation before Christ comes back? Why the trial by fire if God knows whats in our hearts?

I'm looking for actualy input here not just "God doesn't exist" or "The Bible is a book of lies" or "God works in mysterious ways"

    I don't believe that they were tested for any other reason than for us. I believe that the reason for the events of Abraham, and Job are to show those of us who are reading the word of God what FAITH in God is. Their FAITH was so apparent that it was counted as RIGHTEOUSNESS.

    Yes the world is going to go through tribulation to give those who have not accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, especially the Jews, the chance to be taught and to know Him. Christians will have already been taken away.

    Those tests were made by God himself. Why do you think we go through many tests like these everyday. Don't blame God - this thing called life is a test to see if we can make it through the difficulty times.
