The Born Winner

Transcripts for Dr. Wiersbe's sermons are forthcoming. Below is an outline of his message.

It is possible for a person to know for sure they are saved.

If you are born again there are certain characteristics that mark you as a Christian.

We were first born spiritually dead.

Four characteristics of the children of God that give us assurance of salvation:

• A person who is born of God is born to love.
  • Each member of the Trinity demonstrates love.
  • When we are born into God’s family, we receive His nature of love.
  • We love because of who God is, what He has done, and what He is doing in us.
• A person who is born of God is born to victory over the world.
  • We were first born as slaves to the world, but when we are born again, the world no longer has control on us.
  • The world wants to rob us of God’s love, keep us from doing God’s will, and make God’s commandments burdensome.
  • When you walk by faith you overcome the world.
  • Believers do not live by or for the world.
• A person who is born of God is born to victory over sin.
  • A Christian is not sinless, but they sin less.
  • A true child of God has no desire to play with the devil.
• A person who is born of God is born to victory over Satan.
  • Believers have victory over Satan through Jesus Christ.

Do you possess these birthmarks of a believer?

The true Christian life is characterized by love and victory.
