Believers so trust Christ as to renounce every other ground of confidence (Philippians 3:8).

Believers glory only in the righteousness of Christ and count their own to be filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6).

Believers rejoice in the cross of substitution, glorying in nothing else (Galatians 6:14).

Believers love the Lord Jesus supremely and will so order their lives as to avoid commitments and associations which hinder fellowship with Him (Luke 14:26-27).

Believers will continue in the faith, for true believers never quit (1 John 2:19).

Believers obey the Lord’s commandments, not in order to gain His favor but because they love Him and dwell in His favor (2 Corinthians 5:14-15).
