We can verify our faith by examining our hearts against Scripture, ensuring we truly possess Christ (2 Corinthians 13:5).
Genuine faith is confirmed through a process of self-examination. According to 2 Corinthians 13:5, believers must actively assess their faith and determine whether Christ truly dwells within them. This process helps individuals safeguard against the presumption of salvation, which is common among many who mistakenly judge their spiritual state based on sentimentality or the opinions of others. By aligning our understanding with biblical truth, we can discern the authenticity of our faith and avoid the trap of false security.
