Self Examination is one of the most vitally empowering endeavors required of every individual and spiritual community. It is an absolute imperative challenge. It is a process that needs to be embedded in every healthy growing spiritual family. must participate in on a regular basis. We are called:

  1. To examine ourselves.
  2. To examine one another.
  3. To examine our corporate relationships in Christ.

Not to do these things, and not to bring our full powers of observation, STUDY, MEDITATION, learning, interpretation, and all of our best corporate understanding that we have gained through multiplied years of  seeing life from God’s perspective, and through shared experience and understanding of his: wisdom, mercy, blessings, curses, and heavenly reality, we must use all of this to bring to bear upon our self examination, and corporate examination, so that everyone high and low, rich and poor,  can walk in the measure of the fullness of Christ, that they have been allotted in this life.

What is needed to do a self examination is a simple list of areas that need to be considered.

10 Areas of Judgment

 

For the time is come that Judgment
Must begin at the house of God:
And if it first begin at us,
What shall the end be of them
That obey not the gospel of God?
 And if the righteous scarcely be saved,
Where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

1 Peter 4:17-18 (KJV)

 

If you had judged yourself, you would not need to be judged by others.
The only need or reason you need to be judged by others, is because  you chose not to judge yourself.
That is the law of choice in a nutshell.

1 Corinthians 11:31

For if we would judge ourselves,

we should not be judged.

 

 

 

 

Again, the bottom line is: if you and I would judge ourselves, there would be no need for anyone else to judge us, because we would be free from judgment.

Do you see the inherent warning in the message 1 Peter 4:17 above?
Food For Thought: Jesus satisfied the Punishment for Sin. “Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world.”
But does that mean: Jesus has erased the sin record of every individual on the face of the earth? No.
In other words: The Promise of God to Forgive the Sins of Man against God, does not negate the requirement of each individual man to clean up his own sin record before God, and also the responsibility to keep it clean.

To clarify:  You and I have an obligation, not only two ourselves, but also to others, and supremely to God, to keep sin out of our lives–both individually and corporately.  That is all about the blood coven of God that God instigated in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament.The problem is: People have invented their own ideas, and replaced the blood covenant, with faults, humanistic, and human tradition that eliminates the requirement, the obligation, and the responsibility to maintain a clean, perfect, and holy relationship with Almighty God.

When this happens, men, women and children, altogether in whole communities, choose and decide to go against one of their most precious and life changing energies given by God, the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but men despise the fear of the Lord, and they replace it with the fear of man. – – to their own destruction.
Jesus said, no man can serve two masters. We cannot serve the master of sin in Hell, at the same time we serve the master of righteousness in heaven. We have to make a choice. That choice is based on relationship, and that relationship has eternal consequences.
Since “judgment must begin at the house of God” here are 10 areas of judgment that man will be held accountable for:
The phrase “judgment must begin at the house of God” is derived from 1 Peter 4:17, which emphasizes the importance of God’s people being held accountable for their actions before the rest of the world is judged.
