The Bible's Most Neglected Command - 2 Corinthians 13

Send us Fan MailWhat if one of the Bible’s most neglected commands was not directed toward unbelievers, but toward people inside the faith?In 2 Corinthians 13, the Corinthians are demanding proof that Jesus is speaking through Paul. Paul turns the examination around and tells them, “Keep testing yourselves to see whether you are in the faith.”This teaching explores why biblical discernment must begin with honest self-examination. It examines the difference between genuine faith and false confidence, the relationship between grace, repentance, and obedience, and what happens when the truth of God confronts us.David also considers the corporate meaning of Paul’s words. Is the presence of Jesus recognizable not only in individual believers, but also in the way Christians gather, love one another, pursue reconciliation, and live in peace?Key themes include biblical self-examination, genuine faith, repentance, obedience, Christian unity, spiritual discernment, and the visible evidence of Christ’s rule in our lives.JoinContinue the conversation and grow with other believers in the Estero Ekklesia Skool community:https://www.skool.com/estero-ekklesia-1658Support the Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394920/support Support the show
