Do you feel convicted when you sin? Is there an overwhelming sense that you did something wrong. A person that continually sins without remorse may not be a Christian at all. Of course the more a believer sins and the longer that they refuse to confess their sin, a hardening of the heart occurs and eventually, they slide into more and more sin. Fir...
Surely a Christian can not claim to be saved and yet hate his brother or sister. Once again, we go to the Apostle John for evidence that a believer can know that they are born again. First John 2:9-11 says, “Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives i...
As point number one stated, even Christians still sin, but they do not remain in sin or keep on sinning as if nothing is wrong. I have heard many who have confessed to be Christians live in ways that are contrary to the ways of God but they state they are “carnal Christians.’ I can not help but be concerned for their salvation. John stated a very s...
Imagine that you have just been married but you have also been deployed shortly after your honeymoon to an overseas military camp. Now, you receive letters in the mail but you fail to read them except on Sunday and only then, just a few chapters. And you also fail to communicate to your new bride. So not only are you barely reading your brides lett...
Most Christians love to learn and they feel a strong need to read the Bible. To hunger and thirst for this is a strong indicator that the Holy Spirit is actively working in a believer. In the Beatitudes, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matt. 5:6). David had this intense hunger and th...
God has a strong desire that men and women be saved and that none would die without Christ. If you have no desire or interest to share the gospel with the lost, then you do not have the same kind of desire that God has for those who will perish without Christ. What breaks the heart of God should break the heart of those who He has redeemed. It’s as...
God is seeking to be glorified in us. God will not share His glory with another. And why should He? He is God! He deserves all glory, honor and praise. Isaiah 42:8 declares, “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.” The Westminster Shorter Catechism says that our chief purpose is to glorify God an...
We are told not to love the things of the world because if we do, the love of God is not in us. The Apostle John says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). This includes family as well. Jesus plainly tells us that, “Anyone who loves his father or mother more...
We have been given many resources in this world. Most Americans have been blessed above and beyond the vast majority of the world. In comparison to the world’s population, we are truly rich. If we have food for at least the next day, if we have sustenance in our cabinets for a few days, if we have heat in the winter and AC in the summer, if we have...
This might be one of the most overlooked job descriptions of a Christian. It seems too simple yet few believers that I talked to, and even those in the church I under-shepherd do. That is to visit the widows and orphans. This is what pure and undefiled religion is really all about. James put it succinctly when he wrote, “Religion that God our Fathe...
Jan 4, 2022 · A true Christian has God’s Holy Spirit living within. The evidence of a true Christian is displayed in both faith and action. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). James says, “I will show you my faith by my works” (James 2:18).
A Christian is a man, woman, or child who has experienced a spiritual new birth through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. That new birth is a gift of God, through Jesus Christ, given by the grace He freely offers to all. Some believe you can be born into a faith.
