I was considering Nebuchadnezzar in the book of Daniel, and how he seemed repentant after a period of time, but then became proud again and that's when God had to cast him out into the wilderness.

My question is this: how can I as a Christian know if my lifestyle is that of genuine repentance vs. temporary behavior reform? I do trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, but how can I be sure that this is not just lip service or fire insurance?

Thanks all!
