“SELF EXAMINATION?”

Second Corinthians 13.5

The people the Apostle Paul wrote to in the city of Corinth wanted to know from where he derived his authority as an apostle. They also wanted some proof of Christ in him. But instead of giving them what they wanted, Paul gave them what they needed. He exhorted them to turn their attention to themselves and to examine their own spiritual state. Since there is a great danger of self-deception concerning this subject of Christ in you, Paul’s advice to those people is advice that would be well to take by anyone professing to be a Christian. Humility is a virtue that Christians recognize to be crucial to God giving grace, James 4.6, and First Peter 5.5.

Turn to Second Corinthians 13.5. Once you are there, I invite you to stand for the reading of God’s Word: 

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” 

To make sure I head off a question that may be forming in your mind, let me comment on the phrase “Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates.” Reprobate translating á¼€dá½¹kimoV, the Greek word for disapproved or rejected. Paul informs the Corinthian Christians that “Jesus Christ is in you” unless you are unsaved. But what does he mean by that phrase, “Jesus Christ is in you”?

It is a modern-day perversion of the Gospel, found even in many fundamental Baptist Churches, that people become Christians by asking Jesus into their hearts. That is a 20th-century error invented by Rev. Robert B. Munger, the late pastor of the Hollywood Presbyterian Church, in a sermon titled “My Heart, Christ’s Home.”[1] The concept was popularized by the always theologically gullible evangelist Billy Graham, who popularized that approach to becoming a Christian worldwide. Of course, the problem is that nowhere in the Bible is anyone encouraged to ask Jesus into his heart.[2]

What exactly people mean by asking Jesus into their hearts they frequently don’t seem to know. But I can tell you that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity Who became a man, does not save people that way. Sinners are not saved who seek to be saved in that fashion because that approach to the Gospel bears a far closer resemblance to the erroneous Roman Catholic teaching about salvation from sin than it does to the Bible’s. How similar to many Catholics asking Jesus into your heart is to eating the host during mass. The imagery of both asking Jesus into your heart and eating the host suggests an infusion of grace, a Catholic concept, while the Bible teaches the imputation of Christ’s righteousness.[3] The two concepts are not similar.

Let me present some passages to you that clearly show two things: First, that Jesus Christ is, and has been for almost 2000 years, seated at the Father’s right hand.[4] The Lord Jesus does not leave His place at the Father’s right hand to save people since justification is by faith and does not require the Savior’s presence here on earth to accomplish. Second, the Lord Jesus does live in a believer, but He does so only through His envoy and representative, the indwelling Holy Spirit of God. Notice both of these points being made as we read the following portions of Scripture: 

Mark 16.19:  

“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.” 

Romans 8.34:          

“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” 

Ephesians 3.16-17:   

16  That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love. 

Ephesians 4.8-10:   

8  Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

9  (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 

Hebrews 1.3:

“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” 

Hebrews 10.12: 

“But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God.” 

Hebrews 12.2:

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” 

The Lord Jesus Christ is presently enthroned in heaven and is also represented in each believer in the person of God’s indwelling Holy Spirit.[5]

Back to the primary point the Apostle Paul sought to make with the Corinthian congregation, that because of the extreme danger of self-deception, a number of those Corinthian Church members desperately needed to be examined to see whether they were indeed in the faith. Don’t you know the case of the member who was a fornicator in First Corinthians 5.1-5 had alarmed them?

May I be explicit at this point? I do not think the Apostle Paul is here calling upon a congregation of Christians to each individually examine themselves to see if they are in the faith. My persuasion is based on two things. First, there is his comment in verse 1 that we ignore to our peril: 

“In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” 

Then there is his use of the two imperative verbs that are second-person plurals (translated “examine” and “prove”). He is so much as saying, “You guys need to examine yourselves. You guys need to prove yourselves.”

I am convinced Paul’s directive was for the congregation to engage in the mutual ministry of examining and considering one another’s testimony as the need arose, not for any individual to reflect upon his own conversion experience in an attempt to resolve his spiritual condition. Anyone can do that, of course. But that is not what Paul is referring to in this verse. What should always be a concern is for someone who self-evaluates to give himself a pass.

Understand that this verse does not mandate the congregation call a Church member on the carpet and demand that person allows the other Church members to judge his conversion testimony. That would violate the spirit of soul liberty. Paul would not advise that type of coercion of anyone. Instead, he is encouraging those in the congregation who are troubled about their peace of mind and heart, who are concerned about their relationship with Christ, who might be disturbed about spiritual matters, who experience lapses in their assurance, to go back to square one and allow your fellow Church members to provide you with spiritual care by making sure you are clear on the Gospel.

“Pastor, what if a Corinthian Church member did not want to do that?” There is no coercion hinted at here. Paul urged them to do; they still had the freedom to comply with or not comply. His comments should be recognized as the apostolic remedy for what ails you. If you seek relief, this is the approach that is advised. However, it is up to you whether or not to seek relief.

That understood, the relief outlined in our text is no less critical to 21st century Church members than it was to the Corinthians and is as prescribed a remedy for anyone distressed about his soul’s condition now as it was in the days of the apostles.

There are two thoughts suggested by our text. The first thought is that a person may be a Christian without knowing it for sure. Second, a person who truly is a Christian may know that he is. 

First, A PERSON MAY BE A CHRISTIAN WITHOUT KNOWING IT FOR SURE 

Understand that some people very strongly object to even the possibility of someone being a Christian and not knowing for sure. Those who feel this way will say that the change that occurs in regeneration is so profound that no one can be genuinely regenerated without having certain knowledge of the fact. “If you’re saved, and you know it, say ‘Amen.’”

Let me address that sentiment because those same people allow for someone who claims to be a Christian to skip Church for decades, never serve God, and even live with someone other than a spouse while never challenging the individual’s conversion experience. As a fellow running for the presidency would say, “Come on, man.” You cannot have it both ways.

First, if it is true that all truly saved people are confident that they are saved, then there is no point in the verse before us. It’s needless. It has an application to no one. Recognize that this verse cannot have a direct application to any who is lost. What good would it do for a sinner who knows that he is not a Christian to be examined to see whether or not he is a Christian? Neither is this verse applicable to the confident Christian with assurance of his salvation, since if he knows that he is a Christian, for him to be examined to see if he truly is in the faith would be unnecessary. This verse must apply to the third possible situation which can exist. Not the unsaved person who knows he is unsaved. Neither the Christian who knows he is a Christian. But the Christian who is not certain that he is a Christian. Therefore, it is possible to be saved and not know it.

Second, since justification is by faith and not a matter of the five senses, determining whether or not you are born again must be accomplished by indirect means. Does it not stand to reason that a person must be born again before knowing that he is born again? But the new birth comes by the Spirit of God and is not detected through our physical senses. The new birth is not seen, felt, smelled, tasted, or heard. Therefore, the method by which the Christian must correctly ascertain whether he has been born of the Spirit is to have the workings of his heart examined in light of God’s Word to see whether he possesses the fruit of the Spirit. Self-deception in this regard can be avoided with the help of spiritually experienced Church members who honestly seek your benefit.[6]

Third, that a person may be a Christian without knowing it is also evident from the fact that guidelines are laid down in the Bible by which we are to examine and minister to each other. But all this would be useless if no one can be a child of God without knowing it. After all, why would God place in His Word how we can help each other detect our actual spiritual state if it was automatically true that we would know our condition without using these means?

To wrap up this first thought, it is important to point out that I am not suggesting that a person can be a Christian and yet know nothing about it. He, who is a Christian, has been born again. He has passed from death unto life. He has been called out of darkness into marvelous light. Let us not, for one moment, minimize this truth. That a person can experience all this and know nothing about it is impossible. No person can exercise faith in Christ, repentance for sin, and love to God, without being aware that a significant change has taken place in his views and feelings toward God, Christ, and the things of God. The point that I seek to make is whether the change you have undergone is the change necessary to prepare you for heaven. That is what some are in doubt about. “Something happened to me, but did what happened to me result in me being born again? Am I now a child of God? Or did I cling to a false hope?” The person who has experienced no meaningful spiritual change should conclude, of course, that he is without God in the world. But suppose he is aware that some change has taken place. To determine whether the change required to be born again and be a child of God is crucial. In such a case, his experience can be examined, and also his spiritual behavior after his so-called conversion experience, with the guidelines laid down in the Word of God. Is it possible for a person to be a Christian but not know that he is a Christian because he has not yet been subjected to careful examination? Yes. It is possible. 

BUT EVEN THOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO BE A CHRISTIAN WITHOUT BEING SURE THAT HE IS, IT IS ALSO THE CASE THAT A PERSON WHO IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN MAY KNOW THAT HE IS 

That is, a Christian may obtain satisfactory evidence that he is born again. Assurance of salvation is a thing. This is seen from several examples recorded in the Scriptures.

Job said, “For I know that my Redeemer liveth,” Job 19.25-27. He was assured that Christ was his Redeemer. “And that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin, worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.” Job felt assured that he would behold Christ for himself, with his own eyes, in his own body raised from the dead.

Paul could say in Second Timothy 1.12, “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” With regard to the beginning of his Christian race and his spiritual warfare, the event was not to him uncertain. Who could forget the Damascus road experience? “I, therefore, so run, not as uncertainly, so fight I not as one that beateth the air,” First Corinthians 9.26. He could also say, again in connection with the Corinthians, “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens,” Second Corinthians 5.1.

As well, the Apostle John could write in First John 3.2, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” Here, the apostle’s assurance is twice asserted. “Now are we the sons of God,” and “we know that we shall be like him.” And in First John 3.14, he writes, “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.” Then, in First John 3.19, we read, “And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.”

From these and other passages of Scripture, it appears that Christians may arrive at the full assurance of hope and that some believers have Biblically based assurance in this present life. Such Scripturally sound assurance is a confidence that every believer is exhorted to attain. “We desire,” Hebrews 6.11 says, “that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end.” In Second Peter 1.10, we read, “Wherefore, the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure.” And in our text again: “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith.”

So, even though an assurance of Bible-based salvation is not very common these days, it is attainable. And we are taught how a truly Scriptural assurance of salvation can be obtained. It is not the result of stubborn insistence that when you think you were saved you must certainly have been saved, for there is no place in Scripture that provides such an example of obtaining assurance of salvation as that. Instead, a sound and Bible-based assurance comes by careful examination and by giving diligence.

It’s the neglect of careful examination and giving diligence in this matter by so many pastors and Church ministries that explain why so many so-called Christians walk in darkness. For others, assurance of salvation is obtained when one’s opinions and convictions about how a sinner comes to Christ, coupled with how you presently live your life, is carefully reviewed by respected and trusted brothers or sisters in Christ. They compare what you rehearse in their hearing, along with what they see in your life, to the testimony of God’s Word. Many professing Christians’ days are filled with unfounded confidence that they are genuinely saved. They tend to think well of themselves and to take things for granted without responsible investigation. The result is that they sometimes end up with false and deluded hope, go through life deceived, and end up, in the end and too late, awfully disappointed.

How important it is that the Christian “be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear,” First Peter 3.15. And how important that those who are resting on a false hope should be brought to discover their awful mistake, and to earnestly ask, “What must we do to be saved?”

That a true Christian can know that he is a Christian can also be seen from several evidences described in Scripture. Please understand that the difficulty of settling the important question of whether you are truly in the faith does not arise from any defect in the guidelines laid down in the Word of God. The plainly stated Biblical evidences that a person is truly regenerated are numerous, too numerous to deal with in a single sermon. Some of them, however, need to be mentioned here:

I could mention others, but let these do for now. Concerning the evidences I have just mentioned, please observe that they are all decisive. Each evidence I mentioned has the promise of salvation. That person, therefore, who possesses one of these Christian graces possesses them all, even though some may be more clear than others. As well, if you are lacking any one of these evidences you lack them all, and it is certain that you are not saved. If a person has true love for God, it cannot be said that he has no faith, no repentance, no love for the Christian life and its activities, or no love to the brethren. In this matter of someone’s examination, there may be several difficulties. I’ll mention two which are perhaps the most common.

The first is when someone who is aware of no real change in his spiritual views and feelings attempts to collect evidence that he is saved when no evidence exists. Such a person, being ignorant of his own heart, may perhaps be resting in the externals of the Christian faith. Such a person needs to be reminded that no matter how correct his outward conduct is, if the feelings of his heart do not correspond with the guidelines of the Gospel there is no real evidence that he is a child of God.

Second, let a person’s so-called conversion experience be ever so convincing to himself, yet if his general conduct does not line up with a Scriptural description of the Christian life, then there is no real evidence that he is a Christian. Works without faith are dead works. And faith without works is a dead faith. Gospel faith and the practice of your life are inseparably connected.

So you see, people may, and often do for a long time, search for evidence they are saved when it simply does not exist. It should not be assumed that the result of every self-examination or examination by others will be favorable. We all know that there are many today who flatter themselves that they are Christians when they are not. And although in some cases there may be a real difficulty in deciding on which side the evidence accumulates, in most cases, the evidence against is clear and decisive, and no one could fail to see it if they would look at the subject objectively and with a sincere desire to know the truth. In such cases, the real difficulty with people lies in their reluctance to give up an old hope. They are unwilling to believe that their case is so bad. They cling to their old hope for fear they shall never find a better hope.

The other difficulty to which I referred exists in such a case as this: A person is aware of a significant change in his spiritual views and feelings. But for some reason, he is unable to discriminate between true and false religious affections, to use Jonathan Edwards’ term. He has new views, new sorrows, and new joys, and has no doubt that a change of some kind has taken place. But is this the change that is required? Is it regeneration? This is the question which he finds it difficult to decide.

The great tragedy in modern-day Christendom is that the assumption is almost always made, even by pastors, that based on a weak claim, a person is accepted as regenerated who, in fact, may not be at all. What seems to have been lost to most pastors and Christians in these latter days of spiritual apostasy is the fact that although it may often be difficult to determine that a person is a Christian, in many cases it is not difficult to determine that he is not a Christian.

You see, there are certain infallible marks of a truly repentant person laid down in the Bible. Let me remind you of the marks indicating no repentance and faith: 

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God, 

Galatians 5.19-21. Then there is First Corinthians 6.9-10: 

9  Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 

While a person lives in the indulgence of any one of these listed sins, it will be of no use for him to search for evidence that he is a Christian.

Let us now consider some of the positive evidences of regeneration that can only flourish in the absence of the sins just mentioned.

The true Christian loves God. “Every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God,” First John 4.7. Here is something new to the convert, something pleasant and delightful. The question is not whether he possesses love of any kind, but whether he loves God for what He is in Himself, whether he is pleased and delighted with God’s moral character because of its excellence. If this is the case, his heart will identify with the Psalmist, who wrote: “Whom have I in heaven but thee; and there is none on earth that I desire besides thee,” Psalm 73.25. Anyone who has no love of God should conclude that he is lost, for “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love,” First John 4.8.

Next, the true Christian believes in Christ. He receives Him as his Savior and rests upon Him alone for salvation. In himself, the sinner is lost and justly condemned to everlasting Hellfire, and he despairs of all help from every other source. But now the Savior is unspeakably precious. He sees a beauty in His character, and a glory in the plan of salvation, which fills him with joy unspeakable and full of glory. He counts all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, his Lord. He is willing to commit his soul, his eternal all, unreservedly into His hands. Of the power and willingness of the Savior, he has no doubt. The only question with him is, “Am I willing to embrace Him and trust in Him?” On the other hand, the person who says in his heart that he would trust his soul in the hands of Christ if he knew that Jesus would save him, who thinks that he is willing and that Christ is not, has no saving faith and no good evidence of being genuinely converted.

Additionally, the true Christian possesses genuine repentance. Jesus said, “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.”[7] Here the question to be decided is not simply whether a person has sorrow on account of his sins because there are two kinds of sorrow. There is selfish sorrow or the sorrow of the world which worketh death, and there is godly sorrow which worketh repentance unto salvation not to be repented of.[8] Selfish sorrow for sin, which arises from the fear of punishment, is the sorrow which Judas Iscariot felt when he had betrayed innocent blood and the sorrow which the lost in Hell will feel for all eternity. But godly sorrow, or true repentance, flows from genuine love toward God. It implies hatred of sin because of the hateful nature of sin. The person who has genuine repentance has a broken heart and, like the prodigal son, thinks to himself, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.”[9] He also says to God, as David did, “Against thee, thee only have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight.”[10] Though forgiven by God, he feels as if he could never forgive himself. The person who truly repents of sin may sometimes doubt whether his repentance is genuine, but a person who has no repentance, who has no sorrow for sin whatever, has no reason to doubt his spiritual state. He can know that he is not saved since “except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”[11]

Fourth, the true Christian loves the activities and the duties of the Christian life. “This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments, and his commandments are not grievous.”[12] He loves to read the Bible, to meditate on divine truth, and to pray. And he loves to engage in distinctively Christian behavior, such as attending Church, and giving, and singing songs of worship, praise, and adoration, and witnessing. He feels differently at different times, sometimes up and sometimes down, but that he takes delight in these activities, he has no doubt. The only question with him is whether he does these things out of love for God and a desire to see God glorified, or whether it’s merely to quiet his conscience and to build up feelings of self-righteousness. The true Christian knows, for example, that he must maintain secret prayer or give up his hope. It is proper for him to inquire whether or not he continues the practice out of love for God, or merely to keep his hope alive. But if he has grace in his heart, he will “delight in the law of the Lord, after the inward man,” as Paul said to the Romans.[13] And He will agree with David’s sentiment: 

“I esteem thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.”[14] 

Even if there was no heaven for him to go to someday, he would still continue to live the Christian life. He would still love to meet with the people of God, to read and hear His Word, and to pray and praise and give. He would still speak of the glory of Christ’s kingdom and would still talk of Christ’s omnipotent power. On the other hand, he who does not delight in these things, but who considers the Christian lifestyle and service to God to be boring and burdensome, and more especially, he who lives in the constant neglect of known Christian duties, should have no doubt about his spiritual condition in the sight of God. He needs to know that he is in the gall of bitterness and bond of iniquity, for “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”[15]

Fifth, the true Christian loves the brethren. “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren,” First John 3.14. Here there is a danger of deception. Perhaps no person, whatever his spiritual condition, can help respecting and approving of the character and disposition of the true Christian. Virtue is certainly preferable to vice. And almost every sinner’s judgment and conscience would have to agree to this evaluation. There are few, indeed, who will acknowledge that he prefers a vicious to a virtuous person, or that he loves the sinner and hates the Christian. But although the sinner’s judgment and conscience may approve of the Christian’s character, and although a lost man may love Christians because he considers them friendly, this is no evidence of regeneration. The Lord Jesus said, “For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.”[16] But that love which is evidence of the new birth is entirely different from this. The true Christian loves God’s children only because they belong to Christ and bear His image. This is the love that springs from a delight for God’s work in the lives of others and an enjoyment of the communion of the saints. “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”[17] 

I have attempted to lay before you the Biblical evidences of a genuine conversion. Each one of you must examine for yourself. If you lack assurance of your salvation, or it comes to your mind that self-deception is a real possibility, the apostle recommends that you consider engaging Church members to minister to you with respect to a consideration of your personal testimony.

To restate, in this matter of your testimony being examined, your first order of business is a personal reflection on your spiritual condition in light of God’s Word. You need to deal faithfully with your soul, because a false hope is worse than no hope and a mistake in this area is awful.

Beware of building on the sand. The hour of judgment is approaching. Examine the foundation on which you rest your hope of heaven. You do not want to discover that you’ve made a mistake too late. Remember that you are preparing for eternity. For this reason, if there is a disconnect between your belief and your behavior, if there is a gnawing doubt about your relationship with Christ or you are facing confusion and carnality, consider the remedy prescribed by the Apostle Paul to the Corinthian Church members.

Before we conclude, let me caution you. My text today deals with the Christian who is not sure he or she is a Christian. I have pointed out how a Christian can become sure, can receive assurance of salvation, from the examination of one’s testimony by others.

If you are not a Christian, you do well to fear self-examination. Attempting to address spiritual concerns by yourself and on your own too often enables a person to conceal from himself the true condition of his lost soul. I say this because of the condition of your heart (Jeremiah 17.9) and your mind (Second Corinthians 4.4).

You who are not saved? Better for you that seasoned Christians show you what the Bible teaches than you trying to discover as a spiritually dead person the way of life. With the exception of such people as Abraham, Moses, and the Apostle Paul, God’s plan is to use those who are His to reach those who are not His. People do not find God on their own initiative. Humbly allow someone to minister to you.
