Perhaps you have had the privilege of watching a
non-believer enter into God’s kingdom as you helped them to understand the
gospel! Perhaps you have found some
young believers by now as well.
According to Colossians 1:28-29, God has entrusted these new and young
believers to you and He has charged you to help them to grow in their
relationship with Him. But where do you
start in this sacred undertaking?
Your
New Life is a series of 5 lessons for new believers that were extremely
helpful to build in me a solid foundation as a new believer. I call these lessons “foundational” because
they form the important building blocks of our faith. Many believers,
especially those who have spent a lot of time in church, sometimes skip over
these “elemental” foundations because they seem too simple. When the storms of life blow into their
lives, their shaky foundation doesn’t hold firm and they begin to doubt God’s
presence in their lives.
I think it is vital that all believers go through these essential truths as they are considered the
most foundational for all believers.
Look over each lesson and ask yourself, “Am I able to clearly
communicate these truths well to another believer? Am I able to show other believers where these
truths are found in the Bible?” If not,
why not spend some time during your devotional times with God to review these foundational
truths. Pray, too, that God will direct
you to others who need to become well founded in these truths and invite them
to study the Bible with you to learn the important essentials of our
relationship with God!
