John Sutherland Bonnell, the great preacher of a generation ago, suggested 5 questions that are useful in evaluating Christian effectiveness and commitment. Look closely at them to judge your strengths and weaknesses as a disciple of Christ.
- Does my life witness each day to the power of the risen Christ?
- Does my faith in Christ affect the quality of my daily living, so that there adheres to it a nobility and moral strength?
- Is there anything in my life that reminds men and women of the Master to whom I have pledged my allegiance?
- Is there any discernable difference at all in my life as contrasted with the lives of those who never acknowledged Jesus as Lord and Savior? (See Matthew 5:46-48)
- Do I manifest in the midst of this fevered generation a serenity of spirit which reveals that the peace of God is dwelling in my heart?
