J.C. Ryle once said, too many persons presume they are forgiven who have no evidences to show.

What are some evidences of a truly forgiven sinner? How is God at work in those he's redeemed that show his grace and forgiveness at work in their lives?

Today, we are talking about five marks of a genuinely forgiven sinner.

Welcome to the Sheprews Faithful Podcast, episode number 124, truth and encouragement to live

gospel-centered lives every day. I'm your host, Lauren Lushak.

Welcome to the podcast, everyone. My name is Lauren, and I'm the host of the Shepoo's Faithful

Show. I'm really grateful you're here. Thank you for joining me today. We're going to talk about

evidences of a forgiven center, which I think will bring so much

encouragement to us. But I wanted to start with this. Recently, we went camping up in the

Colorado Mountains. We go every year with some friends of ours, and we actually all got

to know each other at a summer program 10 years ago. And I ended up marrying Andy. Our friends got married. Now we have children. And every year,

we've been going camping for the past four years. It's such a fun tradition. And this year's trip was a

blast. We were by water and got to go swimming a lot and canoeing, kayaking, whatever. They're

inflatable. We go in them, we had a great time.

But every year I walk away with more camping life hacks, and I've been camping since I was a

little girl. Like my parents took me and my brother a lot when we were kids, and now we take our

kids, and I feel like I just, I should write a book about camping life hacks, but it would only be probably two pages long, just a list.

20 things you need to know before you set out camping.

And I will say camping in Florida is different than camping in Colorado, and you'll see that with one of my hacks.

If you live somewhere where it's warm and toasty and humid, you're like, I would never do that.

And you're probably right.

You shouldn't do that.
