First Steps    
for New Believers
     
 

Contents

Study 1. New Birth
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, unless a man is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God… I tell you the truth, unless a man is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God."

Study 2. Assurance
How can you be sure that you are saved? Find seven principal means of assurance and it is worth noting that all are objective evidences; nowhere does the scripture tell us that we are saved because we "feel saved."

Study 3. Water Baptism
Every believer needs to be baptised. It is such an integral part of Christian initiation that the Bible takes it for granted that a profession of faith in Christ will be followed more or less immediately by water baptism.

Study 4. Baptism in Holy Spirit
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is God's means of bringing us into the realm of spiritual power. He wants us not only to enjoy the new life, but also to be effective messengers in transmitting the Gospel to others.

Study 5. The Word of God
We must read the Bible daily; study and search the Scriptures; obey and believe the Bible; and use the Word as a weapon against our enemy, the devil.

Study 6. Prayer
We need to learn to communicate with God. When we are babies we let our parents know we need something because we cry. As we grow up we learn to speak and communicate our needs or answer questions.

Study 7. Sharing the Gospel
Have you shared the life of Jesus with others? He wants you to, and has given you the Holy Spirit to help you do just that, let Him work through you and enjoy the thrill of seeing others come to Christ.

Study 8. Faith
Faith is accepting God’s word as true, and acting upon it, so that true faith always results in action - even if it is only the action of will determining to trust God and do nothing ourselves.

Study 9. Guidance
We may trust that His desire and will for our life is only good. Our desire, like that of Jesus, should be that we want to please Him.
