How do you know for sure that you have come to life with Jesus Christ? What is the evidence in the lives of those who prophesy to be born again? These are the questions we sometimes ask ourselves. Well, in this post I will share with you some of the characters that can be found in someone whose life has been transformed through Jesus Christ, however it should be understood that they are not limited to those I share here, but these ones are the basics of a life that has been transformed by Jesus.
Before we get all into it, we have to understand that you cannot see this invisible transaction called salvation, but you can see the evidence. You can see the swaying of the Spirit in the life of a person who comes to faith in Jesus Christ. So let’s see the first stage evidence that a person’s has changed in Jesus Christ,
Doing good – Those who have accepted Christ in their life tend to do good because they have seen the light of Christ shining upon then. They do good and live in the light because Christ is now in their life. They do good because they have been accepted by God through Jesus Christ. They do good, not because they want to go to heaven, even though this is sometimes taken as an excuse. They do good because they now enjoy an intimacy with the lord who is always doing good (John 3:20-21)
Loving one another – Loving one another is another evidence in the life of those who prophesy to have a transformed life in Jesus Christ. Loving one another revels that you are or have been transformed. You have to love people still, even those which you consider to be your enemies. Loving one another means willing to forgive even those who have hurted you so much. You can say you love Christ, but how far do you love one another? You are measured by how you love one another. A person whose life has been transformed by Christ loves others (John 13:34-35)
Living a responsive lifestyle – if your relationship with God is only for a short time, then you have not made the decision. You must hold on to the word of God to have an intimacy relationship. If you have been born again, you will long/thirst for the word of God. You will demand for the word of God. You will grown in the word of God, because without the word of God you cannot spiritually grow. If you have been born again, you will need to grow in the word of God.
Personal intake of the Bible - Personal intake of the Bible is a primary evidence of a spiritual life. A person who is spiritual dead has no spiritual life and does not eat spiritual food. Those with a changed life thirst for a spiritual food. A person whose diet is the Bible he is right in the primary method of spiritual growth.
Personal obedience to the Bible – Personal obedience to the Bible is the primary assurance of spiritual health as it is in 2 Timothy Chapter 3. I have written an article on how the Bible can help those who choose to believe it right here, you can read it, it will help you with more clarifications on how the Bible helps those who believes it.
You have a repentance heart – those who have been born again tend to have a repentance heart. A repentance heart shows that a person has come to know Christ. Jesus delivers all those who believe in Him. Jesus forgives those who choose to seek forgiveness. Repenting means we have to flee from sin and hold on to purity.
Because of His love, I am forever a secured package
