I have a vibrant relationship with God where I regularly hear from him through the Bible and talk with him through prayer. ( Deut. 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.)

I live in accordance with my values and appropriately take a stand for them in front of others. (Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.)

Those who know me best would attest to the fact that i am the same person in public as I am in private. Ex. My family would agree that I am the same person at home and at church. (2 Cor.4:1-2 “Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.”)

I am often not as real as I should be regarding my Christian influence because of fear or insecurities. ( Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.)

I only believe what I believe about a real God because it is expected of me. I don't really know much about why I believe what I believe. My Bible knowledge is pretty shallow. ( I Cor. 2:6-8 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.)

I really desire to grow spiritually and this real desire is authenticated by the fact that I regularly spend time reading the Bible, praying, attending church, sharing my faith and more. I am not where I want to be spiritually, but I can see real progress. (2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby.)

My speech, attitudes and actions are noticeable by those around me and they would attest to the fact that I am a real Christian. (Phil. 1:27 Only let your conversation (lifestyle) be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;)

I often find that I speak about the sins and faults of others while tending to ignore my own sinful habits and struggles. (Luke 6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother,Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye. )
