The life of faith is a life of trust and obedience to God. The Christian faith is not some kind of "magic" that makes bad things disappear and good things appear. It is a life of obedience to God's word. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to give us ears to hear and power and grace to obey from hearts of love. That is truly the key to a rock solid life!

Have you ever wondered if you are "really" a Christian? Sometimes we struggle in our time with Jesus, prayer, or walking in ways that please Him. Questions can arise and we can even doubt if we possess real saving faith. The Apostle John writes a powerful word of encouragement to help us know and be secure through our experiences with Jesus. Do you know?

Have you bought into true Christianity, or could your faith be a cheap, phony substitute? John gives you three test questions to ask yourself.

Are you secure in Christ? Do you know the love of the Father? How can you know? The Apostle John gives us 3 tests to see whether or not we know Christ or simply know "about Him." Whatever commands our time, energy, and resources commands us..that is our "God." What is it for you? Is it "worldliness" or worship of the One true God, the Lord Jesus Christ? Heart issues can only be addressed by the One who made our hearts and knows our hearts...King Jesus.
