Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves

2 Corinthian 13:1-10
Paul taught Corinth not only with love but also with authority -the authority the Lord gave him for building them up, not for tearing them down.
Paul third time return he will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others.
Because they were demanding proof that Christ is speaking through Paul. For to be sure , Jesus was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in him, by God's power we will live with him to serve Corinth's.
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.
Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you - unless, of course, you fail the test.
Paul said, "We do what is right even though we may seem to have failed. For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth."
Why?
No only teaching and praying for those people. After teaching with the truth, next step need the authority to build them up, the authority is not allow abused.
Jesus was crucified in weakness, from perspective of man, it may seem weakness, but it is brave and with power of faith in God.
Paul calls them to put things right before he comes, so that when he does he may not have to call them to order with harsh discipline.
To be a teacher do the right and teaches with the truth to affect his student or disciples, sometime harsh discipline is needed.
Men see us seems weak, but in Jesus Christ we will with him by God's power. Christians are not weakness but stronger, we insist the truth, but humble ourselves in present of the Lord to treat others.
Our faith need to be tested. No test we don't know how our faith is.
How?
Examine myself to see whether I am in the faith? And test myself.
