Am I Christian Enough?

I have noticed a trend in Christianity to be as much like the world as possible without actually committing acts of horrible evil. This means that we can be involved in idolatry (materialism) and other forms of 'socially acceptable' trespasses of God's commandments, while still feeling spiritual because we are not as evil as our unsaved neighbors. We feel justified in this position because we compare ourselves with the world and other Christians who are more worldly than us. It is almost like we believe that God will have to accept us just because we are better than other people.
John speaks to this attitude in 1 John 2:3-6, "By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, 'I have come to know Him,' and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked."
There are three points that John is making in these verses, each related to spiritual maturity in the believer. First, Christians have assurance of their knowledge of God by their obedience to His commandments. The opposite of this point could be restated in this way: If we do not obey God's commandments, then we cannot know that we have truly come to know Him. The point is that we have true assurance of salvation and intimate relationship with God only when we are living in obedience to His commands to us. I think that many Christians have a sense that they are not really saved simply because they do not follow God's commands for them. Peter also spoke to this point in 2 Peter 1:9, "For he who lacks these qualities is blind or shortsighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins."
The second point that John makes is that we are perfected (completed or matured) in God's love when we keep His word. John is restating what Jesus had already declared to his disciples in John 14, "'He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.' Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, 'Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?' Jesus answered and said to him, 'If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.'" This point speaks to the concept that Christians should strive through obedience to God's word and commands to develop intimate relationship with their heavenly Father. The point of Christianity is not simply to have salvation from sin, death, and hell. It is to live the eternal life that God desired for us when He created Adam and Eve, intimate fellowship with Him. This intimate fellowship is only attainable through obedience to God's word. Another way to state this is when we obey God's word, we grow into a deeper relationship with the Father.
Finally, John declares that anyone who claims to abide in God should live a life following the pattern that Jesus gave for us. The kind of relationship that Jesus had with the Father through obedience to the direction of the Father is a pattern of the relationship that we can and should have with the Father. I think that John is referring to everyone who calls themselves a Christian, those who claim to abide in Christ. Each of us should pattern our lives after the life of Jesus, obedience and intimacy with the Father.
If we were to take John's statements seriously, we would not desire to be as much like the world as possible; we would desire to be as unlike the world as possible. This is the desire of God for us, to "be holy as the Lord your God is holy" (Leviticus 19:2; 20:26; 1 Peter 1:15, 16).
