2Co 13:5 Keep examining yourselves to see whether you are continuing in the faith. Test yourselves! You know, do not you, that Jesus Christ lives in you? Could it be that you are failing the test?
This is a great piece of advice. Keep examining yourselves!
It is so easy for us to live and slowly drift away from living in faith. To begin to just do the things we need to do, to survive every day, no longer hearing from God and regularly stretching ourselves to do much that shows faith.
So let me ask myself that question:
When last did I do something that shows that I am truly living by faith?
I think if I cannot remember recently having received some instruction from God, or learning some new principle that I’ve applied in my life, which took some faith to go through with, then I must ask myself that last question in the scripture: “Could it be that I am failing the test?”
