To be a Christian is a standing, a legal position. It means to be a child of God. You are or you are not, there is no try.

If a person has grasped the meaning of God's grace in his heart, he will do justice. If he doesn't live justly, then he may say with his lips that he is grateful for God's grace, but in his heart he is far from him. If he doesn't care about the poor, it reveals that at best he doesn't understand the grace he has experienced, and at worst he has not really encountered the saving mercy of God. Grace should make you just.

While your character flaws may have created mild problems for other people, they will create major problems for your spouse and your marriage.
