What does the Bible say about proving your own work?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible encourages believers to test and examine their own work in faith, as seen in Galatians 6:4-5.

In Galatians 6:4-5, the Apostle Paul urges each person to prove or scrutinize their own work. This process of examination is meant to help believers understand their own standing in the faith and to ensure that their hope rests solely in Christ. It is not about measuring oneself against others, but about ensuring that one's faith is firm and rooted in the gospel. The act of testing one's own work is necessary to find true joy in self-rejoicing rather than in comparison with others.
