Cox – What are the Marks of a Christian?

Cox – What are the Marks of a Christian? is a study of what are the marks of a born again believer so we know how we should act and be, and so that we can deal with other Christians. As a Christian, we deal with other people very differently if they are our “brother in Christ“, or an unsave person pretending to be saved.

Why should we be focusing on this? Firstly, because we need the reassurance of God’s Word as to whether we are saved or not, and within this, we need to know what elements in our lives identify us as a child of God or a child of the devil. Secondly, part of being a Christian absolutely is relating to other Christians. We must edify and serve them as well as they serving us. God gives spiritual gifts to His children, and these people exercise their spiritual gifts and talents in the local church. It is extremely important to realize that Satan also “gifts” the Christian with false prophet to disrupt and cause damage to them, and these people are excellent “actors” acting and pretending that they are saved and serving God when in reality they are the enemy, secret agents for Satan. We must insist on those who claim to be saved to act like a child of God. Realizing what defines a true Christian and what is not in line with that is imperative for every Christian.
