Over the next several weeks, we’re going to walk through a study called Are You A Christian?
At first glance, that may seem like a strange title for a community of believers. Many of us have followed Jesus for years. Others have only recently begun their walk with Him. Regardless of where you are in your journey, there is great value in regularly examining our hearts in the light of God’s Word.
Scripture encourages us to test ourselves, not to produce fear or uncertainty, but to make sure our faith is genuine and our lives are continuing to reflect Christ. The goal isn’t condemnation. The goal is transformation.
As we work through this study together, we encourage you to approach each chapter with humility and an open heart. Resist the temptation to think about someone else while you’re reading. Instead, invite the Holy Spirit to search your own life. Allow the Word of God to strengthen what is healthy, correct what is out of alignment, and deepen your relationship with Jesus.
Before we begin Chapter 1, take a few quiet moments in prayer. Ask the Lord to reveal anything He wants to teach you through this study, and commit to following wherever His Word leads. We believe He honors hearts that sincerely desire to know Him more deeply.
