Benchmarks of Christlikeness
Christlikeness is benchmarked against the Word of God. Peter gave an inspired list of virtues which represent mature Christlikeness—the character which God honors with an abundant entrance into the everlasting kingdom and which provides fruitfulness and stability for the believer (2 Peter 1:5-11).
