How do we know that self-examination is important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Self-examination is crucial for Christians as it helps them confront their sins and turn back to God with sincerity.

Jeremiah encourages believers to 'search and try our ways and turn again to the Lord' (Lamentations 3:40). This call to self-examination is echoed throughout Scripture, as seen in 2 Corinthians 13:5, where Paul tells believers to test themselves to see if Christ is in them. Genuine believers are prompted by the workings of the Holy Spirit to assess their spiritual condition and ensure they are aligned with God's will. Moreover, self-examination can reveal areas needing repentance, leading to deeper fellowship with God and growth in holiness.
