Are You Really A Christian?

Walking in the Spirit

16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But athe fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Galatians 5:16-26
If you've repented you would bear the fruits of the Spirit, the fruits of God:
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. If not, then there is something you might want to think about. And that is repentance! Here are six steps to true repentance.

Biblical Repentance:

1. Feeling Godly sorrow (Agree with God)
- The first step of repentance is to recognize that you've committed a sin against God's commandments.
- Feel true sorrow for what you've done and for disobeying Heavenly Father.

2. Confess to God

- Pray to Heavenly Father and be honest with him.
- Tell him of your sin.

3. Ask for forgiveness
- Pray to God for his forgiveness
- Forgive others who have hurt you.
- Forgive yourself and know that God loves you, even though you've sinned.

4. Renounce your sin (Repent and forsake your sins)
- Make a promise to yourself and to God that you will never repeat the sin.
- Recommit yourself to obeying God's commandments.

5. Receive forgiveness
- The Lord will forgive you when you truly repent with a sincere heart.

6. Put your trust in Jesus Christ!


In a nutshell: Confess, Repent, and Trust in Jesus Christ as your Saviour.
