The overruling passion of his life is Jesus Christ. Whenever you see this quality in a person, you get the feeling that he is truly a man after God\u2019s own heart (see\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Acts+13:22\">Acts 13:22<\/a> \u00a0).<\/p>\n<p>Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you.
