Download Dolphin, Ric - How To Know If You Are A Christian 1.0

In leui of a review, here's the first few paragraphs to give a taste of the theme. I found this file to be helpful, when my initial expectation based on the title alone had been low.

Do you ever wonder if you are a Christian?  Many people have asked that question, and it is one with which I have wrestled, as well.  There are some pat answers such as “pray the sinner’s prayer” or “accept Jesus into your heart” or “believe and be saved.” If you believe you have done these things, and yet are deeply troubled over the assurance of your salvation, these answers may seem to fall short.

The reality is that no man can assure another of salvation, for assurance of salvation is God’s work and not the work of man. “The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him” (Rom_8:16-17). So the one whose soul is in turmoil should determine to go to God and seek both salvation and assurance from Him and not man.

God’s Word gives us tests to take so that we may know if we are in Christ or not. Paul exhorted the Corinthians to reflect upon their lives to see if they are Christians: “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test?” (2Co_13:5). So because we are exhorted to test ourselves to see if we are in Christ, the Word of God provides the tests we are to take.
