Interesting list of marks of a true Christian posted by Kevin DeYoung.
Wilhelmus à Brakel in The Christian’s Reasonable Service (1700) lays down six propositions to get us started.
- Proposition1: A Christian must have a great love for the truth; all splendid pretense void of love for the truth is deceit.
- Proposition 2: A Christian must have great love and esteem for the church.
- Proposition 3: The Holy Scriptures are the only rule for doctrine and life.
- Proposition 4: Regeneration is the originating cause of spiritual life, and of all spiritual thoughts and deeds.
- Proposition 5: A Christian avails himself of faith.
- Proposition 6: All of man’s felicity, here and hereafter, consists in communion with and the beholding of God.
