Practice Makes Perfect

2 Corinthians 13:5 admonishes us to "examine(KJV) ourselves." Using 1 John 2:3-6; Philippians 2:5-8; Colossians 3:17; and 1 Corinthians 10:31 as the answer key... how do you fare on the test? We all need to put our faith to a little more practice, don't you think... before the "final exam!"
---2Co 13:5 Test yourselves and find out if you really are true to your faith. If you pass the test, you will discover that Christ is living in you. But if Christ isn't living in you, you have failed.CEV
---1Jn 2:3-6 When we obey God, we are sure that we know him. (2:4) But if we claim to know him and don't obey him, we are lying and the truth isn't in our hearts. (2:5) We truly love God only when we obey him as we should, and then we know that we belong to him. (2:6) If we say we are his, we must follow the example of Christ.CEV
--- Php 2:5-8 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: (2:6) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: (2:7) But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: (2:8) And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.KJV
---Col 3:17 And whatever you do or say, do as a representative of the Lord Jesus...NLT
---1Cor 10:31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.NLT
