1. Do you seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, or are you looking to justify your status among the world?  This is very important.  In Hosea (4:6) we are told "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."  We are given the knowledge, but because we want to do things our way, we reject the knowledge. 
    
2. Do you love the Truth?  Jesus said "...I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."  (John 14:6).  The Apostle Paul tells us "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2nd Thessalonians 2:10-12)  You can't have it both ways.  Do you have pleasure in unrighteousness?  With the scripture above (the message is repeated throughout the Bible) we clearly see we  must receive the love of the Truth - that Truth being Jesus the Christ - or we will be lost in delusion.

Start with the "Render unto Caesar" button to the left, then work your way down the list.  Stop and pray often.  Ask the Lord God to help you receive the love of the truth, because if you don't receive it, you will not be saved.
