1. You are forgiven
Once you have given your Life to Jesus Christ by being baptised in Jesus Name, all of your sins are forgiven. God's Word, says:
Ephesians 1:7- In Christ we are set free by the blood of his death, and so we have forgiveness of sins. How rich is God's grace,
St John 1:12-13 - But to all who did accept him and believe in him he gave the right to become children of God. They did not become his children in any human way -- by any human parents or human desire. They were born of God.
2. Prayer
Prayer is essential in your new life in Christ. You will not grow in Christ without prayer, as prayer allows you to enter into His presence and allows God to direct your life on a daily basis. Prayer is communicating with God. Start today!
3. Christian Fellowship - Going to Church
Going to Church is an important part of your growth in Christ. It is the place where God desires His people to go to worship and praise His name. You will recieve a lot of encouragement from hearing the word of God being preached and the testimonies of your brothers and sisters of their life experiences with Jesus. You should make every effort to attend church as much as possible, as it will help you grow strong in your faith.
Hebrews 10:25 - Not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching.
4. Reading your Bible
Reading your bible on a daily basis has the same importance as eating - you just can't live without it! Reading the Word of God will help you to understand the will of God for your life, to know the promises of God for you, and how to deal with the various situations that you will face - the Word of God is truly the Book of Life!
Psalms 119:105 - Your Word is like a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.
5. Get involved with your church
Another great way to grow in Christ is to get involved with the activities of your church - you will soon realise how enjoyable it is! You will also find out what your gift and talent is and this will lead to you giving glory to God and becoming a blessing to your church.
