How Do I Know I'm A Christian

How do I know I am saved? Birthmarks of being a Christian
 
Introduction: How do I know I’m a child of God?

Children bear genetic marks of their parents..

Romans 8 puts us face to face with the subject of “evidences of Grace” or “Birthmarks of Adoption.”

1. Turning Grace into a formula

2. Confusing Law and Gospel

3. Being misled by material blessings

4. Being misled by sufferings

5. Confusing the inclinations of a corrupt heart and a distorted conscience with the “leading of the Spirit”

6. Living in the Spirit 12-13
   a) The mortification of sin

   The hope of eternal life vs 11, puts the believer “under obligation” to live by the Spirit, killing the old self.
