Spiritual growth is necessary in order to grow in faith. We should be mindful to give ourselves a spiritual checkup often. Spiritual checkups are needed to ensure we are displaying Christ in our lives. We should look for a growing awareness of Christ's presence and power in our lives. Only then will we know if we are true Christians or imposters. If we're not taking active steps to grow closer to God, we are drawing father away from him. Spiritual checkups are a way for us to make sure we are really walking in faith and it's showing in our lives.
