What's going on, guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Bryce Crawford podcast. I'm Bryce. And in today's episode, we're going to be talking about, are you really a Christian? How do you know if you're following the Lord? What areas of your life are you able to identify that you actually don't just vocalize Christianity with your lips, but there's been

an actual heart change in your life. I'm super excited to talk about this. Before we get into it, guys,

you see the hoodie I'm wearing the lovely merch we always wear. Go to Jesus in the street.com,

get some merch for yourself. Now, we're just going to dive into scripture what does scripture say about Christianity

are we really a Christian well here's just four ways that you can just identify naturally in

your life if you're really a Christian faith in Jesus Christ transformation active

obedience in a relationship with the Holy Spirit. And we're going to see in

scripture what this looks like to be a real Christian. Well, Jesus right off the bat in Matthew 16 says,

if anyone would come after me to be my disciple, let him deny take up his cross and follow me so jesus is

actively giving a a differentiation here between people who say they believe in jesus to people

who put their put their actions where their mouth is and there's even this thing where even the demons believe in Jesus Christ.

So what separates the demons belief in Jesus from your belief in Jesus Christ?

It's simple, active obedience.

And we're going to dive into scripture and what that says here later on.

The first scripture I want to dive into right now is Galatians 5, 19 through 24.

Because in Galatians 5, you have almost two different trees are displayed in this passage.

You have a tree that bears one kind of fruit and a tree that bears another kind of fruit.

He says, now the works of the flesh are evident.

Sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, that's new age,

enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger rivalries dissensions divisions envy drunkenness

orgies and things like these i warn you as i warned you before that those who do such things

will not inherit the kingdom of god but the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace patience kindness
