PDF Title: Are You an Authentic Person?
Author: Ron G. Christian
Summary#
Are You an Authentic Person? is a Christian devotional study by Ron Christian that examines the tests of real Christianity through the message of 1 John. The book maintains that authentic faith begins with the true gospel: Jesus Christ as the pre-existent Son of God, fully divine and fully human, who came to bring reconciliation, fellowship, and joy. Christian contends that genuine Christianity is not merely a verbal profession, religious label, or outward appearance, but a transformed life marked by confession of sin, cleansing through Christ, obedience to God, walking in the light, and growing spiritual maturity. The work also asserts that real believers can be recognized by their love for God, self-giving love toward others, discernment of false teaching, brotherly love, victory through faith, and assurance rooted in Christ. Its central message is that an authentic Christian life joins truth, holiness, love, and confidence in God into one visible, living testimony.
