Jeremy Utley - How Can I Know I'm a Christian?
Summary
Jeremy Utley explores how to know if you're a Christian, moving beyond mere intellectual knowledge of the gospel to genuine spiritual rebirth. He uses a quiz format to illustrate that while understanding core truths—that sin has the consequence of death, Jesus paid the price through his sinless life and resurrection, and we can do nothing to deserve heaven—is important, demons themselves possess this knowledge. True salvation requires being born again by the Holy Spirit (John 3:5) and having the Holy Spirit testify to our spirits that we are children of God (Romans 8:16).
