FOR NEW BELIEVERS

FOR NEW BELIEVERS AND THOSE WHO HAD IT WRONG.
Text: 2Cor. 5:17 
So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away – look, what is new has come!
1. Believe in Christ to gain salvation.
2. Confess sins regularly to gain fellowship.
3. Live in fellowship: join a good Bible believing church, study in fellowship, learn in fellowship. Grow up in your spiritual life in fellowship. 4. Fellowship is the environment where your spiritual life functions.
5. Commit a sin and you are out of fellowship.
6. Confess the sin(s) to get back into fellowship.
7. Fellowship places you in the presence of God (spiritually speaking), and allows your spiritual life to function, regardless of your circumstances.
8. Fellowship does not protect you from the repercussions of your sins, whatever they might be.
Your objective is to advance to spiritual maturity.Your advancement in spiritual growth causes the construction of a spiritual structure within your soul, which builds spiritual muscle, production and faith from within yourself.

God does all the work and therefore God gets all the credit. We can neither earn nor deserve anything in life. Once you truly learn this point you have only one direction to go, and that is up. You will never be confused by all those other religions out there in the world, which teach that God is up there somewhere and all you have to do is be good and you will rise eventually to the level of acceptance by God. Couldn’t be further from the truth.

Stay blessed.
