Application:

· Am I engaged to Christ and bethrothed to God?
· Do I do what is right? Am I blessed by God? Am I repentant? Am I productive and fruitful? Am I loyal to Him?
· Has God rescued me from danger? Even danger my sin has caused? Has He given me a flourishing, faithful life?
· Do I have a genuine knowledge of God in my heart? Am I faithful? Is my love steadfast?
· Is my repentance superficial? Is my love temporary?
