You could go on a fast for days or even weeks. You could pray a really long time. Maybe you give your money to the church, or to a charity organization. Maybe you read your bible a lot and underline the verses for memorization.
Maybe you think God is impressed with you!
Maybe, ...
...don't think this is what makes you a "good" Christian. You may be further along in spiritual things than somebody else (and proud of it). But don't ever forget where you came from. Don't forget...
...It was Jesus, who came down to our level as a human! Who suffered through rejection, beatings, and mockings. Then crucifixion, and death! So that you, and i could be saved from damnation.
Let us not forget, that "God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble." -1 Peter 5:5
"3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God." -Romans 10:3
"8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast." -Ephesians 2:8,9
