Picture a Church of Authentic Christians

What identifies an authentic Christian?

Luke 5:1-11

Jesus got into Peter’s boat. John 15:16

Peter heard Jesus.

Peter called Jesus “Master,” and obeyed Him.

Peter had a peculiar reaction to a miraculous financial blessing.

Sin drives a wedge between God and a person.

Jesus did not tell Peter that he was a sinner; Peter knew it because of God’s presence.
Isaiah 6:5

Godly sorrow leads to repentance.
2 Corinthians 7:10, Luke 7:36-48

Authentic Christians have been forgiven and understand the price Jesus paid for them. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 1 Peter 1:18-19

Authentic Christians forgive as they have been forgiven. Matthew 6:14-15, Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:13

Authentic Christians change like Peter did.
John 21:1-9
