My diagnostic test

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:7-10
The above passage shows us some characteristics of those who are in sin:
1. They do not submit to God (verse 7)
2. They do not resist the devil (verse 7)
3. They remain at a distance from God (verse 8 )
4. They have dirty hands and a defiled heart (verse 8 )
5. They are double-minded (verse 8 )
6. They are light and joking, and laugh much (verse 9)
7. They are prideful (verse 10)
I found this on the net, and I am putting this up as a reminder to myself
