Have You Been Born Again? Believe Christ, Part 2

     We are called and commanded to believe our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ (First John 5:1).  Jesus Christ is the only Redeemer and Savior who can forgive and pardon the soul of man.  We ought to know that beside Christ there is no Savior or Redeemer at all save He alone.  We ought to see in our selves nothing but corruption and unworthiness.  We ought to have total confidence in and through Christ to save us from our sins.  We are justified by His finished work at the Cross.  We ought to trust Him so that we are accounted as righteous in His sight.  We can look at death and judgment without alarm (see Romans 4:20-5:1; 8:1).  There is no condemnation for sinners in Christ.  We may have fears and doubts but we trust Him implicitly.  We may feel like we have no faith at all but we have true faith in God through our Lord Christ by His Spirit through His Word.  We know that we trust nothing else except Christ alone.  We are not willing to rest eternal life in anything else but Jesus Christ.  Would Jesus say you are born again?  Have you been born again?  May the Lord be glorified this day to see His presence in you that you are born from above!
