“Test yourselves whether you are in the faith; prove yourselves; or do you not recognize your- selves that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you fail the test", 2 Corinthians 13:5
The significance of this testing and proving is that we should be able to answer yes to the following: “Do you not recognize yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you?” Do you know that the Lord Jesus Himself is now living inside of you? Do you have that assurance? Can you positively testify, “Yes, Christ is in me!”
If you can confess that Jesus Christ lives in you, you have passed the test. You have determined your condition before God with full assurance. That assurance comes to you in three ways: by the written Word of God, by your definite act of receiving Him, and by the Spirit witnessing with your spirit. It is this assurance that now becomes the solid foundation of your Christian life and fills your daily life with hope and meaning.
Thank You, Lord, Your Word is true, for “he who has the Son has life!” I praise You for coming into me — to be my life, to be my everything, and to abide in You forever.
