Are You In The Faith? S11e48 2cor13:5

Are you a Christian? How would we test this? How do we know we are in the faith?   Here are some criteria:

• SIN. Has your sin struck you? do you loathe it? Have you been cut to the heart about it?  This is step one.
• DIRECTION. Have you agreed with God about step one and then TURNED in a different direction? This is repentance and is step two.
• PERSON. We are supposed to be possessed, in a good way by Him. Test this. Inviting in this Person of God to make His HOME HERE is usually step three
• WORD. Does the Word of the Lord, the Bible, speed ahead and is it honored in your life in a new way? This is yet another TEST to see if you are in the faith.
• MIND. Do you have a new and renewing mind? this is step five.
• MOUTH. Are you doing the right thing with your mouth?  Every tongue is going to confess Him.  Start today.

The scary thing is that after 2 visits and multiple letters, Paul still has to ask the question of the Corinthian individuals. Paul calls for a TEST, because individuals and whole churches have been wrong in their casual assessment.  So, humbly, let's also be careful as we put our faith to the test.  Show us Lord the real answer. bewithme.us and apple and other podcasts.
