Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God

Did you know that you can purchase the Kindle edition of Sinclair Ferguson’s In Christ Alone for only $.99? What a deal!

Here is just one nugget from it that I’ve been meditating on for the last few days …

“In his Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, Jonathan Edwards draws on 1 John 4 to show that all true works of God share several features:

1. A high esteem for Christ.

2. The overthrow of Satan’s kingdom in our hearts.

3. A reverent view of, and close attention to, God’s Word in Scripture.

4. The presence of the Spirit of truth convincing us of the reality of eternity and the depth of our sin and need.

5. A deep love for both God and man.
