It's an easy test to put in work. The test of Christianity, that is. JESUS said He's in us and we're in Him: 

"At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you." ~John 14:20. 

We'll know if we're close with GOD to have this marvelous connection by way of His SPIRIT He has given to us! We'll know we have His Spirit by the fruit produced thereby. 

Gal. 5:22: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith," 

V. 23: "Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

"Ye shall know them by their fruits." ~Matthew 7:16a.
