Paul continues his defense against slander going around the Corinthian church and challenges them to examine themselves as to whether they are really believers in Christ--because if they are, then Paul's ministry must be legitimate. Christians today should not be bogged down by worry as to whether they are truly saved, but it is worth examining whether we have personally received Christ and if we see evidence of the Holy Spirit's presence in our lives. If we have trusted in Christ, we can rest assured that we are sealed with the Spirit and our salvation is secure.
