Second Corinthians 13:5 says, “Examine yourself, to see whether you are in the faith.” Pastor Mike Fabarez explains that while this could be taken out of context, causing us to feel called out, the true intention of this verse is to prompt us to reflect on our relationship with God.
Every believer occasionally struggles with doubt over their salvation. This is born out of guilt and discouragement of their sin they believe is too big or egregious for God to forgive.
This can lead Christians to underestimate or disbelieve the complete sacrifice for sin accomplished on the cross. Want to understand God's complete forgiveness and wiping away of sin?
