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!”
2 Corinthians 13:5
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?
Proverbs 18:17
The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him.
Lamentations 3:40
Let us examine and probe our ways, And let us return to the Lord.
Jeremiah 15:19
…Let the people turn to you [and learn to value My values]— But you, you must not turn to them [with regard for their idolatry and wickedness].
Psalm 26:2
Examine me, O Lord, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.
Job 13:9
“Will it be well when He examines you? Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?
1 Corinthians 4:4
For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord
1 Thessalonians 5:21
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;
Jesus! Don’t leave home without Him!

11 Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest [of God, to know and experience it for ourselves], so that no one will fall by following the same example of disobedience [as those who died in the wilderness]. 12 For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged [a]sword, penetrating as far as the division of the [b]soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account.”
– Hebrews 4:11-13

Conform or resist the pressures…examine your self
Is your light actually darkness? Excerpt: It is God’s word that fills us with light – not any of the multiple, vain, man-made philosophies cooked-up to make us feel wise (Zephaniah 3:4, Luke 11:52, John 8:47, 2 Corinthians 2:17, Philippians 4:8, 1 John 4:6). Our made-up ways are dark.
Jesus is saying here: “Be careful.” Wake up! That light in you — what is it, really? If it is not coming from Me [God Himself], then your “light” is actually darkness, no matter how smart you are. Your thinking is totally devoid of the One True God. Your life is then filled with the dark.
Why believe such stupididiotic things?

Romans 12:2
And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].
