The true mark of Christians is their confession of faith. We confess that there is only one God, who has created us, who has redeemed us from our failure to live as he created us, who sanctifies us in the true faith. This confession is our mark that gives us place, purpose and promise in this world. To walk in this faith, is to bear up under the assaults that Satan would throw at us. This, however, we do not bear for our Savior has born it for us. He not only has taken all our sins upon himself; he has delivered us from the Evil One and given us the authority through his Word to victory.
