How do I know if I have “saving faith”, “justifying faith” — the kind of faith by which God restores me to friendship with himself? Only if that faith keeps me busy asking,
“Lord, show me what I can do to be helpful today, to make things better or easier for everyone I’m around.”
And — relying on his power — I act on what he shows me.
If that is what increasingly concerns me, I can be assured beyond all doubt that I am “born again.” I am “saved.” I am God’s friend.
