Summary: Another tale-tale sign that a person is a believer is when one looks at their friendships. Many moons ago, I heard Tony Campolo say that if you didn't have intimate and accountable relationships in your life that were focused on Jesus, you would never make it as a Christian. He challenged, that you might be sitting in a church pew on a Sunday, but you wouldn't be a follower of Jesus. At the time, I thought that that challenge was a bit over-the-top and harsh. Now, however, I see the truth in those words. God made us for others, and others are made for us. It's a reciprocal relationship. This is the body of Christ.
