How To Know How Godly You Really Are

I find it interesting that most people consider themselves to be a good person. If you ask just about anyone if they are basically good, and if they expect to go to heaven, they will say yes, or at least, they hope to get to heaven. Probe a little further, and they will tell you that even though they are not perfect and don't always do the right thing, the good outweighs the bad in their life. So is everyone good? According to the Bible, we are not, For all have sinner and fallen short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23. You may not want to accept this truth from God's word, so here is the proof from your own life. If you really want to know how godly you really are, think about how you act when no one is looking. You are by yourself, or you are away from home in another community, state, or country. What do you find tempting, and how much do you respond to that temptation? The answer you give tells you how godly you really are. Here is another test, ask yourself how you act and think when you are dealing with stress and difficulty in your life. When you are under stress, you will automatically default to who you really are. Any ungodliness in your life will come front and center for all to see.

So how godly are you? If you are like me, not as godly as you thought!
