“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”
2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV
Paul implores us to examine our faith for ourselves in order to test what it is that we really believe. Faith is so much more than the mere veneer of a superstitious belief in a historic Christ; faith is about realising Jesus Christ in us, in the midst of contradiction! Faith is not a cover up of potential depression or disappointment when faced with trying times! There is only one valid faith, not about what we believe about God or about ourselves, but what God believes about ourselves! God is persuaded about Christ indwelling us, now He wants us to be equally persuaded! Self-examination has nothing to do with finding hidden sins and flaws in us, it is about realising Christ in us! Christ Himself is the proof of faith, He is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Christ in us is the hope of glory! Hallelujah!
