I Believe - Examine Yourself
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. —Romans 10:9-10 NIV

“For those of us who desire to follow Jesus, here is the reality we must turn and face. If we’re not being intentionally formed by Jesus himself, then it’s highly likely we are being unintentionally formed by someone or something else.” —John Mark Comer
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? —2 Corinthians 13:5 NIV
Test and evaluate yourselves to see whether you are in the faith and living your lives as [committed] believers. Examine yourselves [not me]! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves [by an ongoing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test and are rejected as counterfeit? —2 Corinthians 13:5 AMP
Life as a Disciple:
- Be with your Rabbi
- Become like your Rabbi
- Do as your Rabbi does
23 And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. —Luke 9:23 AMP
Am I a Disciple?
Am I a Follower of Christ?
Am I with Jesus?
Am I becoming like Jesus?
Am I doing as Jesus did?
