Question
If G-d knows us all, even what we will do before it happens, then why was Abraham tested?
Answer
There's no comparison between one who's idealism is theoretical as opposed to one who acts upon those ideals. It's important for us (!) to realize our potential and ideals, and not just think or speak about them.
