1. “But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks   to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.” 1 Cor 11:28-29

As we examine ourselves there are areas of our lives that need to come under that great light. Not just prior to partaking of communion, which is important, but we need to continually search ourselves to see if there are areas not pleasing to our God. 

I.  Let us examine our companions:

2. “Blessed is the man who walks not in the   of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.” Ps 1:1-2

Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will dwell in them And Walk among them, I will be their God, And they will be My people.” 2 Cor 6:14-16

II. Let us examine our habits.

6. “No one can serve two  ; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Matt 6:24

8. “Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that   with the world is enmity with God?” Js 4:4

9. “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of

    is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.” 1 Jn 2:15-16

III. Let us examine our thoughts.

10. “The wicked in his proud   does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.” Ps 10:4

11. “Also behind the doors and their posts you have set up your remembrance; for you have yourself to those other than Me, and have gone up to them; you have enlarged your bed and made a covenant with them; You have loved their bed where you saw their nudity.” Is 57:8

12. “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruits. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the   of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasures brings forth evil things.” Matt 12:33-35

13. “So he answered and said, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself’.” “And He said to him, ‘You have answered   ; do this and you will live’.” Lk 10:27-28

IV. Let us examine our affections.

14. “He who loves father and mother more than Me is not   of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not   of Me. Matt 10:37

15. “And you will be   by all for My name’s sake.” Lk 21:17

16. “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be   minded is life and peace.” Rom 8:6

17. “If then you were raised      , seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” Col 3:1-3

18. “Be   to come to me quickly; for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world…” 2 Tim 4:9-10a

His Son.” 1 Jn 5:10

There is no guesswork about the experience of the New Birth.

Jesus told Nicodemus “…unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.” Jn 3:5

It also should be noted that it was to this religious man that Jesus gave the words “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Jn 3:16

These gentle words were first spoken, not to a filthy sinner, but to a religious man who had no knowledge of the New Birth. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…”

This is the basis for the new birth for all men everywhere!!!
