According to the verses that I just read to you, Christians are to be a sober-minded people. We are often to think about our actual spiritual condition before God; whether we are spiritually strong and healthy, or whether we are spiritually weak and sick. I believe that it is important to examine ourselves on a fairly regular basis, because it may be true that somehow we have compromised with some sin or error that has brought us into the sad condition of being backslidden.
