The first holy affection of a truly regenerate person is a longing after fellowship with God and Christ.

Do you have a desire to commune with him, to pray, to know him, to be with him, be in his presence?

This is the experience of abundant life, rich with joy, peace, love, purpose.

And if you're pursuing that, that's a holy affection.

Welcome to Grace to You with John MacArthur. I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

If God has forgiven you and made you his child, should other people be able

clearly to see evidence of your new life in Christ, in the way you live, how you talk, the way

you dress, or the things you do? Should those close to you be thinking, there's something

different about him? Even more important, should you be able to spot

those changes to see evidence of your own salvation? The fact is there are indicators of genuine

saving faith. Today on Grace to You, John MacArthur reminds us about what a Christian looks like

and helps you tell if you bear that reflection.

John's study is called myths about salvation.

But before we get to the lesson, as I've been mentioning for the past two days,

for today only you can get the entire 33-volume MacArthur New Testament commentary

for basically the lowest price ever. Keep in mind, we're able to

offer this price only on the first 250 orders, so you need to get in touch quickly. You can use our

website to order Gty.org, or you can call us at 855 Grace. And I'll repeat those details before we end today. But for now, let's get to

today's lesson. Here's John. Open your Bible, if you will, the 2nd Peter chapter 1.

And as we are going through this first chapter, we're studying under the general topic,

our precious faith, our precious faith. We have come to the section

from verse 5 through 11, 2 Peter 1, 5 through 11. This section deals with the assurance of salvation.
