1.  Can you quote Isaiah 1:18?

     It says, "'Come now, let us reason together,' says the Lord, 'though your sins are like scarlet, 
     they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.'"

2.  What is the only way that we can be righteous?

     We can be righteous before God only in Jesus.

3.  How does the righteousness of Jesus get into the life of the believer? 

     God imputes righteousness to us by means of true faith.
    
4.  What defense do we have, against accusations that we still commit sin?

     The Word of God defends us against the accusations.

5.  How can we know if another person is, or is not, a real believer?

     The behavior of a child of God changes, so that other believers recognize 
     the presence of Jesus in our lives.
