Passing the Test — By Grace
Paul’s letter (2 Corinthians) ends not with fear but with hope: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” (v. 14)
That’s the secret to passing the test — not self-effort, but divine grace. The Christian life is an open-book exam, and the answer is a Person: Jesus.
We don’t pass because we’re flawless, but because we’ve learned to listen to the Instructor, to correct our mistakes, and to keep our eyes on Him. When we fail, He restores. When we wander, He redirects. When we repent, He forgives.
So, have you been playing church or pursuing Christ? Knowing about Him, or truly knowing Him? Faith that’s genuine is more than words; it’s life in Him and His life in you.
For every look at yourself, look ten times to Christ. He is both the standard and the Saviour — the One who examines, enables, and embraces.
Take heart: the test of faith is not meant to expose your ruin but reveal your Redeemer. And when Jesus Christ lives in you, the exam is already passed — in grace, with joy, forever.
