1 | Examine yourselves! | 2 Cor 13:5 | kalos | 7306 | ||
What kind of things do and do not prove the genuineness of saving faith? This question is not about judging others. It is about testing OURSELVES to see if WE are in the faith. It is about examining OURSELVES, not others. |

2 | Examine yourselves! | 2 Cor 13:5 | Makarios | 7390 | ||
Excellent question, JVH0212! As a Christian, I am constantly examining and re-examining myself, seeing if there be any 'wicked way in me'.. We must truly examine ourselves by examining ourselves! Just take a moment, and relax. Think about you and your life. Reflect on your life, much like the same 'reflection' that should happen before each and every communion service.. What is there? Are you justified and proven blameless in Christ by your thoughts, intentions, and fruit that you bear before God and men? Is there any false step, any act or deviance whatsoever in your actions related to the Spirit of God? Are you acting in holiness and wholesomeness? If there is any part of you that is in 'rebellion' towards the Holy Spirit, that being anything stolen, cheated, obtained without honest gain, any extra-marital sexual encounter of any kind (or thoughts pertaining to such), any anger, hostility, or anything that is contrary to the will of God in your life, then you are forced to re-examine that aspect and repent! The actions and words that we use come straight out of the heart, and we must guard our hearts from the snares of the wicked one, satan. Here are a few Scriptures that can help us to examine ourselves: 2 Cor. 10:5, Rom. 12:2, 2 Cor. 3:3, Rom. 8:27, Acts 15:9, and of course, Galatians 5:22-25.. Let us all prove to be faithful and holy in His sight! your brother in Christ, Nolan | ||||||
