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! (ESV)
SUMMARY
We slow down with 2 Corinthians 13:5 and take a sober, hopeful look at what genuine faith looks like in real life. We talk about why empty confidence can fool us, how to look for fruit that points to Jesus living in us, and how this self-test can lead to deep assurance.
• reading 2 Corinthians 13:5 as an evening mindset meditation • warning against presuming on God after a low-commitment prayer • testing whether faith in Jesus is genuine • asking what in our lives shows Christ’s presence • looking for fruit like love for scripture and love for people • using self-examination to build assurance rather than fear • turning to Jesus in faith when we do not see evidence of change
Jesus, I want you to be my Savior. I give myself to you and ask you to live through me from this day forward.
