As we come to the end of 2 Corinthians, we read the final message Paul gives to the Corinthians. He encourages them to examine themselves to see if they are in the faith.
What does it look like to examine ourselves? We could ask ourselves a few questions to see where we are in our walk with the Lord. Here are a few questions to help get you started:
Do I love God?
Am I spending time with him each day in prayer?
Do I set aside time to read scripture?
How well do I love others?
Am I being a good example to my friends?
Paul ends his message to the Corinthians by telling them to encourage one another and to live in peace. I would love to leave you with that same challenge. Who in your circle of friends or family could use a little encouragement today?
Prayer: Lord, thank You for giving us Your word to help guide us in our walk with You. Would You help us to examine our lives and show us the areas we fall short? Give us the courage and strength to take steps that will lead us closer to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
