Examine yourself for ungodly traits.
Before we can be useful to serve God we must cleanse and examine ourselves for sin (sanctification). 2 Timothy 2:20-22 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. This list isn’t meant to condemn someone just a litmus test to show us areas we can grow. I’m sure there are others and if you know of any please let me know. Also I found it helpful to look up the definitions of some to have a better understanding of its application.

And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."
