CARRY OUT SELF EXAMINATION TO FIND OUT IF YOU ARE STILL IN THE FAITH.
2 Corinthians 13:5 tells us to do so:
The verse says:
"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?"
THESE ARE THE CHECK LIST TO USE:
1. AM I WALKING IN FIRST LOVE?
Revelation 2:4-5
[4]Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
[5]Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
2. ARE YOU WALKING IN GOD'S WILL BY FAITH TO PLEASE HIM OR IN FEAR TO PLEASE WHO?
Hebrews 11:6
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
3. ARE YOU GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS, IN COMPROMISE OF GOD'S WORD?
1 Timothy 4:1-2
[1]Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
[2]Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
4. ARE YOU ASHAMED TO PREACH GOD'S WORD IN TELLING YOUR FRIENDS, RELATIONS AND SINNERS TO ACCEPT JESUS AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOUR?
Mark 8:38
"Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
5. ARE YOU SAVING YOUR LIFE, JOB, FAME, POSITION, MARRIAGE ETC TO DENY CHRIST?
Mark 8:34-35
[34 "...Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
[35]For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
GOD'S WORD IS YOUR TRUE MIRROR
WITH WHICH YOU CAN EXAMINE YOURSELF AND QUICKLY REPENT AT ALL COST.
NOTHING IS WORTH IT TO COMPROMISE GOD'S WORD.
