11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

1 John 5:11-13 (KJV)

We could rightly call these things that set us apart are our birthmarks.

A Spiritual Conversion

The true believer is a person who believes that Jesus is the Christ.
Christ comes from the word “Christos,” a Greek word that means the anointed one or the chosen one. “Christ” is His title, signifying Jesus was sent from God to be a King and Deliverer.

No one can tell you whether you are saved or not.
Only you know what you are trusting to get you to heaven. However, we do have the promises of God in this matter (1 John 5:12, John 5:24, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-13, Romans 8:1, Acts 2:21, Hebrews 6:18). God is holy and cannot lie. What He promises to do, He will do! Therefore, if you have trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior, according to the plan laid out in the Bible, then you are saved!

A Spiritual Change

There will be a desire for fellowship with the things of light.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.

There will be a desire within the true believer to do the things God commands us to do, and to avoid the things God commands us not to do.
Genuine salvation is proven by a desire to obey God!

There will be such a change in the believers’ life that they will naturally begin to do the things that mark them as righteous. (1 John 2:29)

The true believer cannot continue to live a life of sin. (1 John 5:18)

A Spiritual Charity

There are several ways in which true, Christ like love will be seen in the life of the genuine believer:

  • A desire to fellowship and worship with other believers.
  • A concern over the welfare of others in the family of God.

You can know! God wants you to know. And the first step in your coming to know for sure, is for you to make our way to Him right now.
