Do you ever wonder if you are a good enough christian [Spirituality & Religion]

I sometimes think about whether I am a failure as a christian because of my flaws. I know that I am wholly redeemed by Christ's dying for my sins. But am I actually a good influence towards others leading them towards wanting Christ in their lives.

No, I don't wonder. If we were perfect, we wouldn't need Jesus.

We have a powerful and loving God. I look at some of the people mentioned in the Bible. They had their faults but they repented and continued to follow Jesus. They were called the children of God.

Exactly @SweetMae! Peter denied Christ, David was an adulterer, Thomas doubted, Saul actually killed Christians. They're examples that we're not saved because we're perfect but because of the enormity of God's grace. God doesn't seek out the righteous but wants all of us.
