It is not a good sign when a professing Christian seems to be almost exclusively focused on whether or not they are 'saved' -- as if once that question is settled, they can pretty much relax spiritually. John Newton reminds us that a real conversion will entail a change, also, in a person's primary concern -- namely, that God be glorified....
"Whoever is possessed of true faith, will not confine his inquiries to the single point of his acceptance with God, or be satisfied with the distant hope of heaven hereafter. He will be likewise solicitous how he may glorify God in the world, and enjoy such foretastes of heaven as are attainable while he is yet upon earth." -- John Newton
