Dear friends, Paul’s words urging us to “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith” serve as a powerful reminder for us to pause and reflect on the state of our spiritual lives. It is all too easy to go through the motions of our faith without truly examining our hearts and motives. Are we living out our faith authentically, or are we merely going through religious rituals? Are our actions aligned with our professed beliefs, or do we harbour doubts and inconsistencies? Let us take this opportunity to engage in honest self-assessment, seeking God’s guidance to reveal any areas where we may be falling short. Through prayer, reflection, and introspection, may we deepen our connection with God and ensure that our faith is genuine and steadfast.
