who can put into our hearts the love which is the essence of the generous
spirit.

The Synod of the Church in Uganda drew up the following four tests by
which a man may examine himself and test the reality of his Christianity.
• Do you know salvation through the cross of Christ?
• Are you growing in the power of the Holy Spirit, in prayer,
meditation and the knowledge of God?
• Is there a great desire to spread the Kingdom of God by
example, and by preaching and teaching?
• Are you bringing others to Christ by individual searching, by
visiting, and by public witness.
