- Issue 765 – Verse of the Week
August 20th – August 26th, 2026
VERSE OF THE WEEK
Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! – 2 Corinthians 13:5
Examination
Most people do not look forward to examinations. Whether they are academic, professional, or physical, tests have the tendency to create apprehension or stress. The examination referred to in this week’s verse need not be viewed in an anxious light. As long as you have the desire to be Christ’s ambassador, examining your beliefs and your faith walk can be a peaceful and joyous exercise as you draw closer to the Savior. When you bring any areas you find you have not submitted or yielded to the Holy Spirit out into the open, you will progress in spiritual maturity and receive additional peace in God’s presence! As you walk in the truth and seek to discern and embrace what is pleasing to God, you will increasingly become an agent of His comfort, love, and peace.
