“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?” (2 Corinthians 13:5). “Brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure.” (2 Peter 1:10).“The purpose of this series of messages has been to furnish each one of you with solid Biblical materials to undertake a concentrated season of self-examination. If it is our duty to examine ourselves, to put ourselves to the test with a view to discerning whether or not Christ Jesus is in us, then surely such an important exercise of self-examination must have an accurate standard or criteria by which to undertake it.”
