I don't think the Christian God is trying to teach one specific thing. Learning how to be faithful is what some people choose to learn, but I think he wants us to learn any lesson we can.
We've been learning ever since we've been able to - even while inside the womb. As an infant, we learn a huge amount in a short period of time. Then we grow up and start learning more intellectual lessons in many different areas. We take classes in math, science, history, language, and the arts to expand our knowledge. We get jobs and learn about spending, paying bills, and buying insurance. We raise families and learn how to rear our own children. Life is just a cycle of learning, we never stop gaining information. So shouldn't that have something to do with why we're here?
I can only imagine that if there is a God, he would have a reason for giving us the capacity to learn.
