The Bible exhorts us to periodically examine our self and make sure you are in the faith. Don’t get caught standing before God Himself and discover there that you are NOT His follower! I would say it is serious enough to say, “Be damn sure you are right with God!”
Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?
The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him.
Let us examine and probe our ways, And let us return to the Lord.
Examine me, O Lord, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.
For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;
Jesus! Don’t leave home without Him!
