Here's how to know

“Examine yourselves to see if your faith is really genuine. Test yourselves. If you cannot tell that Jesus Christ is among you, it means you have failed the test.” 2 Corinthians 13:5

How can we be sure our faith is genuine and that Christ is living in us?

1 John 2:3-6

“By obeying his commandments. If someone says, I belong to God but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and does not live in the truth. But those who obey God’s word really do love him. That is the way to know whether or not we live in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Christ did.”

Examine yourselves to this passage today, store it, study it, apply it, understand it, and test it. If you are not obeying God’s commandments, if you are not obeying His word, (which how can we if we never read it) than you will know He is not within you and your faith is not genuine. If you are not striving to be Christ-like than you desire the wrong things.

Oh my goodness do you not just love the word of God. I wish I could put the excitement of my heart on here for you to see, but I can’t so sweet brethren just know I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED AND SO STINKIN IN LOVE WITH JESUS! I hope you are too.

Prayer: Jesus there is NOTHING greater than You! There is NOTHING greater than Your word. O’ Father it is my desire for others to experience You in such a deep and personal way. You are what excites me, I long to be with You, to study Your word, to know everything there is about You. Jesus hasten the day! Amen
