What does it mean to be a reprobate?

Answered in 1 source

A reprobate is someone who is rejected by God, lacking evidence of true faith or Christ's presence in their life.

In biblical terms, a reprobate signifies an individual who has been rejected by God and is ultimately delivered over to their sinful state. Paul challenges believers to ensure they are not reprobates by examining whether Christ is in them. The lack of Christ's presence indicates a disqualifying state characterized by an absence of true faith and conviction. Such individuals may profess Christianity yet live outside the transformative power of the gospel. As such, reprobation serves as a serious warning for believers to affirm their faith through genuine spiritual evidence rather than mere outward declarations or cultural affiliation with Christianity.
