Life In The Spirit Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jun 26, 2002

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?

I keep coming across people who are struggling with whether their faith is real. People whose Christian experience is something like what Paul describes at the end of Romans 7. 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

You’d be forgiven for thinking, when you read the first few chapters of Romans, that Paul has it in for the Jews.
