“...I never felt
I did anything wrong …”

Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Our self esteem,
resists the words...
Romans 3:23 KJV
For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Some poor self deluded souls, dare to think this true only from
before salvation, and that after, they have arrived in a holy zone,
but “not so,” is such the case.
I John 3:2 KJV
Beloved, now
are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:
but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we
shall see Him as He is.
When shall we be like Him? Only after we see Him as He is! Until that
day, we need to constantly inspect ourselves, to see if we are living
as our Lord has called us to live, and if not, we are “short of
the glory of God.”
Introspection
(Spiritual):
Observation or
examination of one's own spiritual condition.

sin.

and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.

trial, Lord, and cross-examine me. Test my motives and my heart.

remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and
my spirit made diligent search.

59 I thought on
my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
Psalm 139:23,24

God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

and try our ways, and turn again to The Lord.
Romans 12:3 KJV
For I say,
through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not
to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think
soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of
faith.
I Corinthians
10:12 KJV
Wherefore let
him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
I Corinthians
11:26-32 NLT
26 For every
time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing The
Lord’s death until He comes again.
27 So anyone
who eats this bread or drinks this cup of The Lord unworthily is
guilty of sinning against the body and blood of The Lord.
28 That is why
you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the
cup.
29 For if you
eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ,
you are eating and drinking God’s judgment upon yourself.
30 That is why
many of you are weak and sick and some have even died.
31 But if we
would examine ourselves, we would not be judged by God in this way.
32 Yet when we
are judged by The Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not
be condemned along with the world.
II Corinthians
13:5 NLT
Examine
yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely
you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the
test of genuine faith.
Galatians 6:3-5
NLT
3 If you think
you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself.
You are not that important.
4 Pay careful
attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of
a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone
else.
5 For we are
each responsible for our own conduct.
James 1:23-25
KJV
23 For if any
be a hearer of The Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man
beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he
beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what
manner of man he was.
25 But whoso
looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he
being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall
be blessed in his deed.
I John 1:9 KJV
If we confess
our sins, He is Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Search
Me O God
Search me, O God, and know my heart today,
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray;
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.
I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;
Fulfill Thy word and make me pure within;
Fill me with fire, where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.
Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine;
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord, in me abide.
O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival, start the work in me;
Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.

life.
