Measuring is a critical concept in understanding our spiritual standing before God. When we measure, we compare something to a standard, just as a piece of wood is measured against a tape measure. In Revelation 11:1, an angel instructs to rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there, indicating a divine assessment of the true church by Jesus Christ against His righteous standard. Similarly, in I Peter 4:17, it is emphasized that judgment begins at the house of God, meaning we, the church, are being measured now to see how we align with His Kingdom. In I Corinthians 11:28-29, we are urged to examine ourselves before partaking of the bread and cup, ensuring we do not bring judgment upon ourselves by failing to discern the Lord's body. To examine is to test or measure against a standard, prompting the question of what we are measuring and what standard we use in our evaluation. While outward obedience to God's law is necessary for a relationship with Him, God's measurement system goes beyond mere actions to the condition of our heart. God is most interested in our heart, the center of our mind, feelings, thoughts, passions, desires, and intent, which drives all outward actions. Scriptures such as Jeremiah 11:20, 17:10, and 20:12 reveal that God searches and tests the heart, judging righteously. I Samuel 16:7 confirms that while man looks at outward appearance, the Lord looks at the heart. Revelation 2:23 further states that He searches hearts and rewards according to works, underscoring that our heart is what God measures. As we approach Passover, we must examine our heart, focusing on our underlying attitude, intent, and complete submission to His will, rather than just outward obedience. Jesus Christ, in Matthew 11:29, describes His own heart as meek and lowly, using the Greek terms praus and tapeinos, meaning gentle, humble, and of low degree. This divine standard of meekness and lowliness, as seen in Matthew 5:5 where the meek are blessed to inherit the earth, serves as our measure. We are called to compare our heart to God's holy, righteous standard, recognizing our spiritual bankruptcy and striving to reflect His heart in our lives.
