I have often wondered what would my "passing the test," look like? Then my next thought is that only he that is omniscient can know the final result. Quickly, I dispair of hope within myself, seeing nothing good there that would would render me worthy of satisfactorily passing any test. I am then inclined to pour contempt upon my finest work, realizing that it falls far short of divine approval. It is then, in final desperation I turn my thoughts from what I can do to pass the test, looking to Jesus who alone accomplished the "work" for me, having passed the test, overcoming the world, the flesh and the devil, remembering that I am told to abide in him.
In myself, I am a failure. If I abide in Him, I am an overcomer. Not that I am an overcomer within myself, for I am a failure, but I am an overcomer by abiding in him, who alone passed the test.
