Evidence of Salvation

Evidence of salvation is not works but character qualities of Christ.

Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

Those that lives a lifestyle of negativity, anger and bitterness cannot be born again, their fruit is bad.

However, those who live in joy and hope in Christ will demonstrate an attitude of loving kindness as described in Galatians. This fruit will be present all the time, not used as manipulation to fool people, but as a lifestyle, effortlessly enjoying the fruit, because it is Christ Who is the One Who works in us.

When Christ is working in us, then the fruit will be real. If the devil works the illusion of these things, the fruit will not last and will have wicked motives of control and manipulation.

Praise the Lord, that submitting to Him, brings the greatest joy and peace of the soul.
