Translations:TC 1: How you can be sure you are a Christian/39/en

The genuine desire within us to obey God and live as Christ did is confirmation that we have been born again. With time our lives will change to demonstrate to others the new life within us. Jesus said, “I will only reveal myself to those who love me and obey me. The Father will love them too, and we will come to them and live with them. Anyone who doesn’t obey me doesn’t love me. And remember, I am not making up this answer to your question! It is the answer given by the Father who sent me: (John 14: 23-24, TLB). It a strong desire to please the Lord Jesus with our obedience is missing from our lives, we have reason to question the authenticity of our salvation. There is assurance in a changed life.
