All in Spiritual Self-examination
There are many practices that are essential to our walk with God and therefore it is not feasible to include them all. Some of the essentials are: prayer, daily devotions, Bible reading and study, sowing and speaking life into others, daily exemplifying the Fruit of the Spirit, and managing your life and personal affairs. These should be the life of the believer. If these essentials are missing or lacking, then the believer is missing the mark.
The Spiritual Self-Examination is a tool to assist each member of the body in examining their spiritual maturity, personal growth, and their commitment to God and to His church. This spiritual self-examination is for you and you only. Don’t hastily go through it. Instead, give careful, thoughtful consideration and attention to each item. And please be honest with yourself.
