The Corinthians were highly critical of Paul. They criticized his age, writing style, speech, bodily appearance, even his apostleship. Paul responded by writing them two letters admonishing them to examine their own lives instead of criticizing others. In the first, he emphasizes performing a solemn self – examination before observing communion, 1 COR. 11:27-31. In the second, he emphasizes the need to scrutinize themselves to determine their spiritual status.

By examining OURSELVES we can locate ourselves spiritually, promote our own spiritual growth, align ourselves with God’s will, and avoid being critical of others. Receive an understanding of examining ourselves.

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, let’s consider Who exactly He is Who came and robed Himself in flesh.

Discover more about Who is: Jesus the Word, Jesus the infant, Jesus the man, and Jesus the Savior.

To what length would God go to show His love for fallen man? As spoken in 2 Corinthians 9:15, He gave us the gift beyond words. Philippians 2:5-8 tells how He robed Himself in flesh in the person of His son in order to pay our sin debt and reconcile us to Himself. How do we imitate this kind of love? By laying down our lives for the one who laid down His life for us.
