it's not a useful idea for me.
it downplays the consequences of what we do. the worst that can happen in a test is that you fail. You, personally.
The worst that can happen in life is to harm other life. Other, not you.
frankly, i think the latter is more serious, and deserves our attention. there are certainly things about life that are testing, but i rest in God's grace. Pass/Fail and win/lose are inadequate to describe the just mercy of God. God both confronts our failing, and reconciles us to God's love. I don't think that when i see the word "test."
