1 Corinthians 11:31, If We Judge Ourselves
1 Corinthians 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
We shall be spared of God’s chastening if we will examine our lives and repent of our sins. The institution of the Lord’s Supper enables believers to take the time to examine their lives before God on a regular basis. This is a means of grace whereby the people of God may judge themselves and find forgiveness with God. The Lord is gracious and merciful to those who are willing to surrender their lives to God.
Indeed, as the psalmist declared the blessing of the sanctified man, Psalm 32:1-2 A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
There is a way back with God.
May the Lord bless His people with humbleness of heart to confess their sins and find forgiveness with God. Amen.
