Many profess faith in Christ, but Scripture warns that not all who claim Christ truly belong to Him. In 2 Corinthians 13:5, the apostle Paul delivers one of the most sobering commands in the New Testament:
“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.”
In this theologically rich, Christ-centred, and uncompromising sermon, we explore:
- Why Paul commands self-examination
- The difference between examining and testing yourself
- What it truly means for Christ to live in you
- The danger of false assurance and cultural Christianity
- How to biblically know whether your faith is genuine
- Why repentance and godly sorrow are acts of mercy, not fear
- How does this passage prepare us for eternity and the final judgment
This message is not meant to destroy assurance—but to expose counterfeit faith and anchor true believers in Christ alone. A call to repentance, humility, and eternal clarity.
