Before advising others on how they should act, self-examination is always necessary. When the Corinthians questioned the authenticity of Paul and his colleagues’ ministry (which is ironic, since he had planted their church), Paul says to them: “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize regarding yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you unless you are unqualified?” (2 Cor 13:5). None of us are ready for the ministry that Jesus has for us because we’re not worthy of the great gift of salvation He has offered. We are meant to find our identity and calling in Christ and to lead out of the gifts He has given us (see 1 Cor 12). For this reason, Paul makes this claim: “And I hope that you will recognize that we are not unqualified! Now we pray to God that you do not do wrong in any way, not that we are seen as approved, but that you do what is good, even though we are seen as unqualified. This means that we are not Guilty, yet we are not Innocent either, we have been justified through Christ's's Sacrifice on Calvary.
Some of the main reasons that we deal with the issue of doubt are because we are not fully persuaded by the Word, ability, and power of God. If we are not fully persuaded, then we are subject to thinking there might be another solution, so we need to settle it once and for all. “God is the only solution to everything!”
As a general rule, that fallacy we have in life is to stand back and watch and see how something unfolds. Then, we make a choice if we are going to be on board
