I have been reading Sinclair Ferguson's In Christ Alone to prepare for teaching the person and work of Christ. He includes Jonathan Edwards' five marks of true revival. I thought they would be worth mentioning as a standard for us to measure ourselves against.
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.
So, are you experiencing revival?
