SELF EXAMINATION
II Corinthians 13:5 encourages us to take a little self examination to ask ourselves a hard question: are we true, genuine, authentic Christians? Maybe a better question would be this: what does Jesus mean to you?
Do these questions offend or bother you?
They shouldn’t because the Bible is constantly admonishing us to do just that.
What evidence could you provide to prove that you are truly saved?
That evidence is not found in mere church attendance.
You will not find it in the baptismal waters.
Nope --- not at the Communion Table, either.
Or the offering plates.
It is found in a changed life. A new life. A transformed life.
II Corinthians 5:17 says that ”if any person is in Christ, he is a new creation; behold, old things have passed away and all things have been made new.”
You are given a new mind to understand the truths of God.
You are given a new will to live a life of obedience.
You are given new emotions whereby you can love God.
That is what “being saved” really means.
Does your life possess that evidence?
