God Wants Us to Examine Ourselves to See If We Are in the Faith ㅡ

 “Examine yourselves, to see whether you are holding to your faith.

Test yourselves.

Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?

—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!” (2 Corinthians 13:5, R.S.V.)

There is a necessity for close self-examination, and to closely investigate in the light of God′s word, Am I sound, or am I rotten, at heart?

Am I renewed in Christ, or am I still carnal at heart, with an outside, new dress put on?

Rein yourself up to the tribunal of God, and see as in the light of God if there is any secret sin, any iniquity, any idol you have not sacrificed.

Pray ...as you have never prayed before, that you may not be deluded by Satan′s devices; that you may not be given up to a heedless, careless, and vain spirit....

One of the sins that constitute one of the signs of the last days, is that professed Christians are lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God.

Deal truly with your own souls.

Search carefully.

How few, after a faithful examination, can look up to Heaven and say, “...

I am not a lover of pleasure more than a lover of God.” 

How few can say, “I am dead to the world, ...and when He who is my life shall appear, then shall I also appear with Him in glory.”

 (Maranatha 49)
