Examine Yourselves - 2 Corinthians 13:5

Every warrior has to contend with his own heart. He has to know he can pass the test. We too ought to challenge ourselves so as to test the reality of our faith. Jesus Christ dwells in us, and if he does, what sorts of things out we be able to do, what sorts of motives ought we to find in our hearts upon examinination? The Apostle Paul understood the level of sobriety with which we must examine ourselves in the light of God's word and in the presence of His Spirit.
