IT'S always possible that a person's health is not as good as he thinks, and a family physician usually recommends a periodic medical checkup to try to catch any undetected disease in the early stages.
Spiritually speaking, how about an examination? You can give it to yourself right now. There are millions of people who "feel" that they are all right with God, yet they have never stood before the x-ray of the Bible: Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith. (2 Cor. 13:55Examine 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).)
First of all, how did you get your religion? Was it inherited, or acquired by marriage or by joining a church?
The Bible says that there is only one way to be saved. All are sinners by nature: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. A person must realize that he is a lost, guilty sinner on the way to the place of endless punishment for sin. He must turn from his sin and accept Christ as his Savior, as the One who paid the penalty for his sin on the cross.
Then, do you believe that Christ's death on the cross is all you need for salvation? You cannot trust in your church membership or your good life; salvation is not gained in that way.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
In the light of God's Word, are you saved? Or do you just have religion?
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
