Christian Certainties.

I have no idea what was intended with the phrases "Christian Certainties" or Christian Essential.
However, when we evaluate ourselves to see if we are "of the faith" we evaluate three essential qualities, our belief, our obedience to the tenants of that belief, and our unfailing love for others equal to or more than our love of ourselves.
Missing of course is the idea that only if God credits our faith as righteousness, do we receive eternal life. So these three essentials simply provide assurance, if they are authentic.
