2Corinthians 13:5a
Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Prove yourselves.
(cf. Philippians 2:12-13 & 2 Peter 1:10)
A Vast Difference
● Between being sorry for sin and sorry you are “caught.”
● Between confessing your sins and confessing some other fellow’s.
● Between seeing your own faults and seeing some other person’s.
● Between conversion of the head and conversion of the heart.
● Between being led by the Holy Spirit and being led by your own imagination.
● Between being persecuted for “righteousness’ sake” and being persecuted for “foolishness sake.”
● Between “contending for the faith” and striving for your own opinions.

The one about the imagination is the one I have to guard against the most. I have a very vivid imagination!

The last one is my bugaboo. It is always in the back of my mind.
