Bible Question (short): Are you in the faith?

Question (full): Are you in the faith? Have you examined yourself?

Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you--unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected? (AMPLIFIED 2 Corinthians 13:5)

'The Bible says "Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!" (2 Cor. 13:5). Well, are you in the faith? Have you examined yourself? It is easy to ask and sometimes difficult to answer.

(...)

'You are to examine yourself, to test yourself to see if you are in the faith. This means that you must first know what the Christian faith is and what it means to enter into that faith. Furthermore, you must know and acknowledge

that there is only one God in all existence,

that Jesus is God in flesh,

that you are a sinner,

that you need to repent of your sins,

and that the only way to find forgiveness is to trust in Jesus alone, by faith alone, through grace alone.'
