How to know if you are born again and belong to God?

By John Foll, entered from notes 11/29/2016, written over the Thanksgiving Holiday period.

How to know if you are born again and belong to God?
See Romans 8:9; 1 John 4:13, 3:24.
Do you love to tell of Jesus and His Father’s love? Or do you love to tell the faults of others?
Do you love your neighbor as yourself?
Does doing the right thing, being a good witness, and sharing your faith seem like a duty or a pleasure?
Do you have a nagging guilt that you should do something for God and others?
Or do you have a burning desire to serve God and help others?
Are you so happy that you are free? Or are you bound in slavery and guilt?

If you are born again and keep it, it is all defined by your attitude. If you delight to serve God and help others, and you love to obey God, then you are born again. If you are not, then you are not there yet. But if you will learn to love Him, yield yourself completely to Him, and do all that He is asking you to do of your own free will, you can be born again. This is God’s promise to you. People who are born again do not have guilt, or for very long, because they seek forgiveness for all their sins from God, and get it; they have no desire to stay in this unclean state of guilt. They also have no desire to disobey God or hurt others.

Yes, you can be born again today, if you will seek for God with all your heart. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 KJV. You don’t have to have any guilt from unfulfilled duties or sin, you can have great joy and wonderful peace! The choice is yours. So choose peace!

[Your Name Here?] is a Servant of God

By John Foll, 11/27/2016  



Certificate of Achievement: This acknowledges that [blank] is a servant of God because he/she loves Jesus. [Your Name Goes Here?] Signed by the Holy Spirit. Today’s Date? Please look at this certificate and ponder the importance of what it is trying to teach, it is really quite simple, yet powerful. This pictorially shows us how we can please God, and know if we are on the right track or not. It is not just trying to be cute, but to help all to see the truth.

You cannot help but want to serve Jesus and His Father, if you truly love Him and His Father.  In fact, if you have been born again, by the Water and the Spirit (John 3:5), this will be what you want, and will be the most natural thing in the world for you; it will be your greatest desire! And you will love your neighbor as yourself, by God’s power. This is proof that you really love God and are born again. All the peace, love, joy, faith, happiness and the power to serve God and bear fruit for His glory, is your wonderful privilege to have! John 15:8. It’s your destiny if you would claim it, and give your heart to Him! Why not? He loves you, and will give all of this to you if you will have it!
