Today as I was listening to a sermon by Joel Richardson one of the scriptures He spoke one was the need to test ourselves. The scripture reads;
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 the test!
2 Corinthians 13:5
This is definitely something I feel I must do. So how do I check myself? The scriptures tell us that one of those ways is by ensuring we’re walking by the Spirit. Because when we walk by the Spirit it produces fruit, the scripture reads;
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self control; against such things
there is no law. And those who belong to
Christ Jesus has crucified the flesh with
it’s passions and desires.
Galatians 5:22,23
A few other ways I can examine myself is to ensure I’m reading the Bible daily, Pray in all situations, humbly ask God into all areas of my life, Praise and Worship Him, Rejoice in the Lord always, Give thanks for all He’s done in my life, Memorize Scripture and do the work I’m called to do. These are just a few ways I need to test myself.
Please feel free to share some of the ways in which you’ve have tested yourself, God Bless!
Amen – the marks of a disciple who desire to please Him who has called us to glory.
