Examine Yourselves

A follow-up to my previous The Wheat and the Tares post.

I offer this as an urgent plea to all my readers.

2 Corinthians 13:1-10 LSB  This is the third time I am coming to you. BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY MATTER SHALL BE CONFIRMED.  (2)  I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that if I come again I will not spare anyone,  (3)  since you are seeking proof that Christ speaks in me; He is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.  (4)  For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God toward you.  (5)  Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize about yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?  (6)  But I hope that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test.  (7)  Now we pray to God that you do no wrong, not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we may appear unapproved.  (8)  For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth.  (9)  For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak but you are strong. This we also pray for, that you be restored.  (10)  For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

Galatians 2:20 KJV  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
