"The Bible says that a person is saved by their faith in Christ. Ephesians 2:8: “You are saved through faith, not by works.” But the verse goes on to say, “For we are God’s workmanship created in Christ to do good works.” Saved through faith, for good works. It’s pretty clear. So why do so many Christians have doubts about their faith? What are some indicators of genuine faith?"

Is there a person in your life that when you hear their name or see their face it sends a jolt of negative feelings through you? When the Bible says, “Love others,” what does that mean? Is it just a feeling, or is it more than that?

The Bible is clear that you are a genuine Christian, saved and forgiven, the moment you put your belief and your trust in Jesus. But what are the signs that your belief is real? John says that one of the signs has something to do with what you value or crave.

"Throughout this series we’ve been looking at what signs we should see in our life that tell us our faith is real. The apostle John highlights things like; our sin should bother us; our love for others should be growing; and we should value our relationship with God more than we value our stuff. In this final message, John says that those who are genuine followers of Christ will endure in their faith. The question is: How do we do that? In light of the challenges life throws at us that can cause us to question God and have doubts, how do we endure in our faith?"
