Matthew 4:7
Luke 4:12
1 Corinthians 10:9
Answer:
On the one hand... Jesus Christ, the Creator God of the Old Testament [John 1:3] WANTS His servants to test Him -- in the proper spirit; a spirit of Fear and Faith:
"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so that there will be food enough in My Temple; if you do, I will open up the windows of heaven for you and pour out a blessing so great you won't have room enough to take it in! Try it! LET ME PROVE IT TO YOU!" (Mal.3:10 LVB Living Bible)
And on the other hand... Jesus rejects a shallow "double-dog-dare" style test of shallow human [satanically-influenced] hostile skepticism:
"...'The Scriptures also say, ''Do not put the Lord your God to a foolish test.'' " (Luke 4:12 LVB)
"...for the Lord your God, who Lives among you, is a jealous God. His anger will flare up against you and wipe you from the face of the earth. Do not test the Lord your God as you did when you complained at Massah." (Deut.6:15-16 NLT New Living Translation)
Because, as it also says in The Bible: "There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven." (Eccle.3:1 NLT)
Therefore, there is a time [and attitude] in which we may "test" God. And a time not to.
