"How do you certify your compassion? Where does you compassion come from?"

Certainly, how one justifies or grounds moral values outside of our subjective selves is a question that has a long history. Christians have been engaging these type of questions since the beginning. We maintain that the Good is grounded in the very nature of the Personal Creator of the Universe. Human beings are made in the image of that God and part of that image includes being moral entities. God has made himself clearly known through the Creation, our Conscience and Christ. You don't need the Bible to recognize good from evil because we are created in such a way that morality is intuitive to Human Beings.

Let me ask you this: Have you ever failed to be compassionate to someone?
