"Examine yourself as to whether you are in the faith.Test yourselves.Do you not know yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you?Unless indeed you are disqualified" 2Corinthians13:5.
It is crucial to examine yourself through God's lens,by seeing yourself with God's eye you can come to know either you are righteous before God or righteous before people which may be contrary to being righteous before God because people have corrupt perspectives of righteousness.If you know that you have Christ in you,then judge yourself with biblical perspectives that is God's eye.The way man sees is far off different from the way God sees and His ways and thoughts are superior to ours.Our views concerning with intimacy,love,marriage,dressing code and righteousness are man-centered hence corrupt before God that's why we need to see and judge things with God's lens which is true, approriate and holy.If you judge righteousness on the basis of your own perception,you cannot know yours transgressions and that's self righteousness.
