Examine Yourselves
II Corinthians 13:1-5
“The Evidence of Salvation”
- Many professing Christians are leaving the church and turning after false doctrines or wrong living. (II Corinthians 11:3-4)
- Salvation is not a human thing but a work of God. (Romans 8:9)
- Paul admonished the Corinthians to examine themselves to be sure they were saved and in the faith.
- EVIDENCES OF SALVATION (II Corinthians 8:9-17)
- The Believer will have the peace of God
- The Holy Spirit of God ministers to the Believer to tell them they are saved
- The Holy Spirit keeps the Believer from sin
- If you don’t have the Holy Spirit speaking to you, you need to examine yourself.
- If the loved one you’re praying for does not evidence the Holy Spirit, you may need to pray for their salvation rather than their getting right.
- The foundation of salvation is Christ in you.
