Summary: Year End Inventory: Taking stock of what’s in your heart
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (2 Corinthians 13:5)
Examine Your Love
But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:17-18)
Do people see it in your actions and character?
Examine Your Ideals
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.(Romans 12:2)
What is God’s good and perfect will for your life?
Examine Your Attitude
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.(1 Corinthians 13:2)
Toward Christ
John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15)
Towards others
Galatians 5:13
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (Galatians 5:13)
Towards yourself
Romans 12:3
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. (Romans 12:3)
