This is a question every child of God should ask him or herself (long as you claim to be a Christian). Now being a Christian doesn’t mean going to church only – No! Are you truly born again (John 3:3) have you had an encounter with Jesus? (Acts 9: 1 – 31) Can you truly say, I am on the Lord’s side? (Exodus 32:26). We need to allow God’s searchlight (Word) to search our hearts and find out what God thinks of us. This is not a matter of what the world thinks of us such like the newspapers, books, and gossip columns, etc. do you know that the world may praise us while God condemns us, or they may condemn us where He God praises us. Remember that man looks at the outward appearance but God looks inward (1 Samuel 16:7). We shall someday stand face to face with God, we shall be unveiled and the innermost secrets our hearts laid bare. The cloak that hid us from man will not hide us from God. Will it not be better, we give thought to what God thinks about us now?

• What does He think of My Work? Does God find me genuine and sincere, free from all deception, and a stranger to hypocrisy? Am I honest? Are my motives right? Am I loyal to God? Do I work from my heart? Is my work counting for God? Am I able to lead others into a life of power and victory? Can I win souls to Christ and how often? Is my work counting for God?
• What does God think of my Social Relationship? Have I obeyed His summons, “Come out from amongst them, and be ye separate,” and “Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers”? Is there any pleasure that is driving Christ from my heart and shutting out His presence? Is my conscience at rest, or does it trouble me when I do certain things and go to certain places? Am I willing to give up all for Jesus and to choose Him before the world? Do I want to please Him or am I going to argue the question with Him? Do I waste time that rightly belongs to Him?
• What does God think of my Devotional Life? Do I spend enough time with Him in private or am I in a haste to leave for the business of the day? Is communion with Him sweet to me? Am I a student of God’s Word? Do I study it in private or is it all done in public? Does He unfold its secrets and make it real to me? Do I claim His promises as I obey His Word and make it mine? Is my life saturated with prayer? Do I pray and get answers? Have I learned how to pray according to His will?
• What does God think of my Christian Progress? Am I making spiritual progress? Am I a growing Christian? Am I a better Christian this year than last? Is Jesus more real to me? Can my friends see any difference in me? Are the old weaknesses and failings of the flesh disappearing, and is the fruit of the Spirit increasing in your life? Am I making progress against sin and most especially my besetting sin? Do I want to be delivered from it? Is there still some cherished idol shutting out God’s peace and power, His presence, sunshine and love?

We often testify that Jesus is faithful. But suppose we turn it around and ask, “How faithful am I to Jesus? For all that is important is our Lord’s estimate of us. Has He been disappointed or are we pleasing in His sight? Beloved all these are personal questions that you need to answer for yourself. Today everyone looks alike. It’s becoming harder and harder to distinguish the True Christians from the fake ones. Converted ones and convicted ones all appear in the same crowd. But the moment of truth is here and those who are not true will not agree with the truth. When you answer the above questions then you will surely see where you stand as a Christian. How satisfied is the Lord with your life and walk with Him and work for Him?
