Do We Analyze Our Relationship With Christ?

How often do we who profess to know Christ analyze ourselves as to our closeness to the Lord, consider the purity and sincerity of our relationship? It seems desperately few do. I do not think many Christians are really close to the Lord or even want to be. The vast majority of believers seem to have a strained relationship with the Lord. Nearly all I personally see do not live out the Biblical pattern and mandate. They make claim of Christ but do not possess the fruit of the Spirit. There is no real difference between them and the unconverted. Repentance in the church of Christ is called for, it is desperately needed. And what will become of the church if it will not repent and get right with God to live out Christ? The answer is in the book of Revelation, chapters 2 and 3.
