E verything that God does to a person, God gave the person a witness, in his or her soul and spirit as to what has taken place in his or her life. Whenever a person accepts Jesus as their savior, at least sixty stupendous transactions are taking place in his or her life, but because the person is a babe in Christ, they cannot put into words all the goodness of God, and what he has done in their life. However, there are some thing that is quite evident in a converted person's life. The person is now justified before God, based on the finish work that Christ has done for them even while they were yet sinners. Christ has touched the person's heart and he or she is now a new person, just like you have been turned into another man.

The Spirit Of God Applied The Blood OF Christ Upon Your Heart The Moment Of Conversion.

1 Samuel 10:6 And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

1 Samuel 10:9 And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.

When I mention spirit of God: I am not talking about what you saw happening in churches, with people dropping on the floors. What God will be doing in your life will show up in your spirit man, and not in your body. Your will not be vengeful, hateful, and wicked as before. Saul was not ready to kill his assumed enemies. Your old ways if you refused to do spiritual maintenance on your life as you walked with God.

Heb_12:15  Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

Eight Proofs Paul Is Warning Christians

They are instructed to: 1.    To follow the faith heroes of Heb_11:1-40 who surround them (Heb_12:1).

2.    To lay aside every weight (Heb_12:1).

3.    To lay aside the besetting sin (Heb_12:1).

4.    To run with patience the Christian race.

5.    To consider and look to Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of faith (Heb_12:2-4).

6.    To recognize and submit to God’s chastening as true sons in order to partake of His holiness (Heb_12:5-11).

7.    To follow peace and holiness and meet other terms of blessing lest they fail of the grace of God (Heb_12:12-17).

8.    The whole book is for Christians and to them, as proved by:

Look What Saul Said After His Conversion:

1Sa 11:12  And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death. 

1Sa 11:13  And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for today the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel. 

Peace That Surpass All Understanding:

Philip. 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Col. 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

A Joy That Is Not Of This World:

Romans 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

God put a joy in the heart of the new converted person that nothing in this world can buy. The joy is of such, no persecution or tribulation can kill it. This joy gives you a song in the night. One of my coworkers accused me of coming to work high. The only explanation I had for him was to let him know that none of my fathers, murder anyone and I never did, I owe no body any money, only my student loan I owed a little money on, so why in hell should I come to work sad? Why do you want me to work sad? I cannot let my patients saw me coming into their room with a frown!

Christ Had Already Died For You:

Romans 5:6-8 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. [7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

The same way how God saved you by a miracle, it is the same way he will keep you save, from day to day, it is the same way he provided for you, the same way he keep you from evil.

Justified By His Grace:

Titus 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Justification is a work of Christ for man, and not a work of man for Christ. The sinner is found guilty, but received acquittals, because he or she begs mercy, and mercy was granted because of another person that was willing to pay the fine.

1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Galatians 3:13-14 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: [14] That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

God Keep You Saved By His Grace:

Zech. 4:6-7 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. [7] Who art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof, with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

This grace: Mean extended and continual mercies, daily! For your sins, because a believer does not stop sin, and sin continues even after conversion, this is not how Christians act, they act as if they have never sinned since they were saved, but this action is a lie.

1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Job 35:10-11 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; [11] Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

Matthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Boasting is forbidden Jews trusting in the law, because it is a false confidence (Romans 3:27). The Christian is encouraged to boast of his reconciliation to God for it is a true confidence (Romans 5:11; 1 Cor. 1:31; 2 Cor. 10:17). God In Christ By The Holy Ghost Give The New Believer A Ministry Of Reconciliation:

2 Cor. 5:18-19 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

God Gave You A New Hope:

Ephes. 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

1 Thes. 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

A Working Faith:

1 Peter 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

Continue In The Grace Of God:

Acts 13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

Col. 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

To continue in the grace of God, mean you must not go off course and fall back into legalism.
