    If we wonder whether we’re truly followers of Christ then this is one way God helps us: are our minds set on the things of God, is our failure to obey, something we struggle with, do we relate to God as our father, rather than someone distant and remote?

They struggle to believe that they could be truly God’s children when their life is so full of sin. If you’re one of those ...read more
