“Prepare For The Final Test”
“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?” ~ 2 Corinthians 13:5 NIV
We are always tested in school and sometimes in the workplace. Our Heavenly Father did even tested Israel in the wilderness (Exodus 16:4; 20:20; Deuteronomy 8:2). In general, we have a negative attitude toward being tested and tend to avoid tests when we can. The idea of testing ourselves is a unique idea found in Scripture. The apostle Paul exhorted the Corinthian Christians to test themselves, to examine whether they were genuine Christians or not. Why is that important? Because a day is coming when many who profess to be Christians will fall away from the faith when their faith is tested, read and meditate today on the following scriptures; Matthew 24:10-12; 1 Timothy 4:1). God’s tests are designed to build, refine, and prepare you for a higher purpose, not to break you.
Jesus even said that not all who profess faith in Him will enter the Kingdom of heaven; Matthew 7:21-23. Now is the time for us all to examine the genuineness of our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ before the final test comes. Don’t let this day pass without knowing for sure that you are in Christ and that He is in you. If you haven’t already, embrace Him as your Lord and Savior today, do it now! Prepare yourself by reading the true word of God and pray for His truthful answers.
“The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.” ~ Rick Warren
“And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test. Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not so that people will see that we have stood the test but so that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed.” ~2 Corinthians 13:6-7 NIV
Amen…
