“Three Marks of True Spirituality”

Regeneration Power – John 1:12-13; John 3:18; James 1:18 NASB1995

“12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13 NASB1995

Salvation – Romans 8:12-13; Philippians 2:12-13; NASB1995

“12 So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh — 13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” Romans 8:12-13 NASB1995

Growth in Christian Character – 1 Peter 1:2-4; 2 Peter 2:2-7 NASB1995

“2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, ” 1 Peter 1:2-4 NASB1995

…And “How?” Christian Character – 1 Peter 1:5-7 NASB1995

“5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; ” 1 Peter 1:5-7 NASB1995
