A“sacred selfie” involves taking a good look at your reflection.In this day and age, full of Snapchat filters and airbrushing apps, we can get used to a manipulated reflection that we prefer a real one. Self-examination is an important aspect of the Christian life because it can keep us from self-deception. Without taking the time to reflect on our desires and thoughts, we can deceive ourselves into thinking we are exempt from repentance—or even become blind and numb to struggles were unaware of. Self-examination also allows us to keep healthy relationships with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Christ tells us in Matthew 7:3–5 that to truly evaluate what is happening in someone else’s life, we must first look at ourselves. This comes by being ruthlessly truthful with ourselves, by the grace and enabling of God.
