If you go to a doctor to check your health, the doctor may give you tests to examine your blood levels, weight, heart rate, etc. This is done not to embarrass or worry you as the patient, but to prevent any risk of further harm or disease before it is too late. Testing our lives against the biblical commands and examples is one way to have a spiritual checkup of sorts. Spending time in prayer and speaking with wise counsel can help you listen for God’s guidance and spot areas of sin that need to be removed to prevent spiritual decay. That way you can deal with the issues before it is too late.
