Everyday we should be growing in our faith. Eventually, we need to move from the milk of the word (a baby) to the meat of the word (an adult).

It depends upon if you have been spending time with God for those 15 years. A lot of times we try to change in our own power. We say, I've got to control my temper. However, if you spend time with God, he gives you the strength to calm that temper, and peace where anger used to rise. So after 15 years of having a good relationship with God, yes you should be a better Christian. Even if you feel you are not, today is a new beginning, so start now.

Absolutely. Everyday God shows me new areas of my life that need improvement. Sometimes it seems that I've not made much progress, but usually only after I've bought into one of Satan's lies and sinned (especially knowingly). Paul expressed similar feeling when he was writing to the church in Rome. See Romans 7:15-25.

Practice, with anything, always makes you bettter. But you can not put it on the back burner and expect to pick it back up in 15 years. Who knows if your grace period will last that long? May God Bless U.

It depends on what you did the last 15 years, but being a good christian doesnt mean being more religious , but a better person.

you could also be a bigger sinner after 15 years as well. we choose every day whether to play games or to give our truth. time should at least teach us not to judge others.

absolutely. its all about how much control we are willing to give to God. how much we're willing to let him do in our lives. a totally surrendered person knows no end to the wonderful things God keeps doing in them spiritually. and of course, we all know we'll never be the best we can be until we're made like Him.

What is a "better" christian?
Better than Jesus?
Better than your neighbor?
As long as you remain faithful and true to your God who is anyone to say you should be a "better' Christian.

You can explore that, offer it to God with all your feelings that go with it. Wait for his next direction or understanding.
