12 Scriptural Verses that will show you if you are a true Christian

12 Scriptural Verses that I learned in Bible Class.
1- An event and a change, II Corinthians 5:17; Did something change in your life when you got saved? Did you stop feeding your addictions? Did you start avoiding sin?
2- New awarenesss of right and wrong, I John 2:3-4; God gives you wisdom to see the darkness of sin.
3- A desire to be more like your Father, Jesus Christ, and bring joy to Him, John 10: 26-28
4- A desire to win friends and relatives to Christ, Rom. 10: 11; Don't be ashamed of Christ and don't be afraid to be different. Being "cool" and being like the world doesn't glorify God, it only gives you a "good" reputation around unbelievers.
5- Social pressure from those who are unbelievers, I John 2:15-17; You start to feel uncomfortable around sin and you want to get away from it.
6- Love for other Christians, I John 3:14; Rejoice with your brothers and sisters in Christ when they rejoice and weep with those who weep.
7- Confirmation from the Holy Spirit, Rom. 8: 16; The Holy Spirit will confirm if you're saved.
8- Desire and understanding of the Bible, I Peter 2:2; The Holy Spirit will help you.
9- Fruitfulness, John 15:8; You will grow Fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness (kindness), goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance (patience)
10- Confirmation from the body of Christ, Matthew 7:15-16
11- Prayerful life, James 5: 16; You should pray everyday, not just for safety and blessings but to honour and glorify God. And pray without vain repetitions (don't repeat prayers over and over without thinking about them)
12- A joyfulness for the Lord by singing to the Lord, Psalm 100: 2; Sing your best for your Master. Worldly music does not please Him. Let us all use our beautiful voices that He has given us for Him and not for the world.
If you missed 3 or more of these points, you need to strive more for God.
Let us all bring joy to our Father.
