Tan implies that spiritual growth should be measured by imitation of Christ.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not stated
• D. Not sure

Answer: (A)

The person is saying that spiritual growth is shown by how closely a person imitates Christ. If Tan makes that connection explicitly, then using imitation of Christ as the measure of growth is the natural and central standard—growth shows up as Christlike character and conduct, not just feelings or head knowledge.

Think of what imitation means here: adopting Jesus’ priorities and qualities—love for others, humility, forgiveness, service, obedience to God's will—and letting those qualities shape decisions and behavior. Progress isn’t about perfection, but about becoming more like Jesus in daily life.

Because the author ties growth directly to imitating Christ, this statement fits best.
