— 2 Corinthians 13:5 —
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you — unless, of course, you fail the test?
__________________________
Most of us think it is wise to visit a doctor every now and then for an examination. It is reassuring to gain a clean bill of health, but it is also a relief to identify a problem before it is too late to deal with it. However, many of us who live in the world of "modern Christian America" (and beyond) recoil at the thought of examining our lives to see if God's Word gives our Christianity a clean bill of health. Yet this is precisely what Paul told the Corinthians when he wrote these words. The reality is that hell is heavily populated with people who professed Christianity but never examined themselves. It is too late if we venture into eternity only to hear these terrifying words from our Lord: "I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness" (Matthew 7:23).
