Being an authentic follower of the Lord Jesus Christ really does mean something! it’s not just a religious term, it’s not just your social media identifier, but if you're saved and in the faith it really means something to be a Christian.
Tonight I want to look back to the word of God in first John, these last few verses in the last chapter of first John is sort of a written contract between Christ Jesus and His children. This is the evidence that would presented in a court case, if somehow there was a breech in contract, and we wanted to point to the agreement and the language of the contract, then this is what we would use to prove we have a case.

A final thought on confident Christian living. Im absolutely convinced that God has us here for a reason. The world we live in and the culture we are exposed to every day requires you to be a solid, well trained, well learned, confident Christian that is empowered in the Holy Ghost with some Biblical authority to live in this present world, and be not of this present world...
