Failing the test!




Warning...do not be caught failing the test as the result will be an eternity in hell.



2 Corinthians 13:5



5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!



For some reason we get all bent out of shape when people judge us. For one thing nobody's opinion matters but God. Some may judge to try to hurt us but others may judge us in which they are trying to help us in our walk with God. For that we should happy! Our problem is we tend to think who is anybody to look at my faults when they have faults of their own. While that may be true we need to look at it in a different light, as God using them to help us get closer to Him. Ever thought about that?



One thing is clear as we are told in this verse we are to examine ourselves. The key question is are we in the faith? There is no greater question then that. Get your bible out, see what God says about being of the faith. See if Jesus Christ is in you.



There is more to it then simply saying I believe in Jesus. For even the demons believe in Jesus! Over the next few days we are going to dig into this more deeply. Test yourself and see where you are in your faith, some things may need to change! It could be a matter of where you spend eternity!
