Today. Evidence of You Being Born Again

Is there enough evidence to use against you for being a Christian today? Here are some new little details that should be budding and growing in our lives after accepting and believing in Jesus Christ.

• A new love for God and want to please Him. John the Baptist told the Jews that they must bring forth 'fruit' worthy of repentance. Matthew 3:8.

The Greek verb that is translated "repent" is metanoeo. It means after thought. It gives the idea of thinking about a deed after doing it. It really means or entails a resolve to cease the wrongful conduct, replacing it with godly living. Colossians 1:10 - ...so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please Him in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.

• A new love for scripture. Psalms 119:9-12, Romans 12:2, I Peter 2:2 - "As a newborn babies, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow up...."

• Having an awareness of right and wrong. Hebrews 5:13- 14, Philippians 2:5

• Having a desire to be like Jesus - Ephesians 5:1 - "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. Romans 8:29 - "Be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ."

• Having a heart to be a witness and proclaim Jesus Christ to others. Acts 1:8 - "...but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses...." Colossians 1:28-29

• A new love for other Christians. I John 3:14 - "We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death."
