It's really great that you have decided to follow Jesus.
In order for you to be a strong Christian,
here are some things you should do...
Bible Study:
- I once heard a story about a very old and wise Indian. He was asked how he was able to be such a strong Christian when so many fell away. He replied, "There are two dogs fighting in-side all the time. Each trying to kill off the other. One represents the Spirit-Man the other the Flesh-man." When asked who wins, he replied, "The one I feed."
- Paul told Timothy, "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." 2Tim 2:15
- Paul continued to tell Timothy that, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Tim 3:16-17
- Jesus Himself said, "Man does not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." Mat 4:4
- The Psalmist said, "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." Ps 119:11
Prayer:
- Paul told the Thessolonians, "pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thess. 5:17-18
- James told the early church that they should, "pray for each other..." And, "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:16
- Paul told the Romans, "be faithful in prayer." In the King James the word faithful is "instant". This has the sense that we should not be hesitant to pray. Romans 12:12
- In Revelation it is said that the prayers of the saints are of such fragrant worth that they are like incense held in golden bowls. Rev. 5:8
- Peter quoted the psalmist in saying the ears of the Lord are attentive to our prayers. 1 Pet. 3:12 Ps. 34:1
- Prayer is anytime you express a need, desire or longing (either verbally or in your heart), to God for His consideration and action. Prayer also can include times of quiet "listening" for God's answer. Prayer is personal one on one time between you and your "daddy", God Almighty. Gal. 4:6
Fellowship:
- All of us need encouraging, training, and just good friends. The writer of Hebrews must have had that in mind when he told the Jewish church, "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another..." Heb. 10:24-25
- Finding a local bible believing church is essential to surviving as a Christian. It's at church where you find Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers, who God gave to the church to grow us up in Jesus Christ. Eph. 4:11-13
Witnessing:
- One of the things that was "your part" to do when you became a christian was to confess Jesus Christ as Lord. Well, this isn't a one time event. Rom. 10:9-10
- Mark 8:28 tells us that If we are ashamed and afraid to speak up in public about Jesus Christ then Jesus will be ashamed to confess us before the Father!
- Ezekial wrote that if we fail to tell others that they are going to die in their sins, God will require their blood at our hands! Ez 3:18-19
Water Baptism:
- If you have not followed the Lord's example and been water baptised, I strongly encourage you to do so. Baptism is for believers after they have repented. The word Baptism comes from the Greek word meaning to dip or immerse. Acts 2:38
