Sermon notes
Re-Energize: The Letters of John
Born Again
Rev. Ho-Ming Tsui
Scripture: 1 John 5:1-12
How do I know I’m a Christian? How do I know if I have faith or not?
There is an unshakeable foundation to your faith: You are born of God, ie. “New Birth”
1. What is the new birth?
2. How does the new birth come to be?
3. How do you know the new birth has really occurred?
There are signs that you have true faith (“Birthmarks”):
a. Theological: Believing in Jesus (v. 1a)
b. Relational: Loving God and others (v. 1b-2)
c. Moral: Obeying God’s Commands (v.3)
4. What is the result of the new birth? (v.4-5)
