Have You Changed? 

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Has your life changed drastically because of Christ, or are you living pretty much the same daily life as you were before? You must make him Lord of your life and not just give it lip service. The evidence of a saved life is a changed life. A Christian should stand out as different from the rest of the world.

Have you had a change of heart? Does it belong to Christ and align with His truths more all the time? Have your desires changed? Do you crave a close, personal relationship with the Lord? Do you want to please Him because you love Him? Do you bear fruits of the Spirit as evidence of Him dwelling within you?

Do you love God and make Him first, the top priority in your life -- far above everything else, even your own life? How much do you study God's Word and pray? Do you love everyone and grieve for the lost? Do you want to witness and make disciples? How much have you really surrendered to God?
