I am a Christian now what do I do
Having given your life to the Lord Jesus you might have the feeling of what do I do now? Here are some simple guidelines of what to do next to help you grow in your loving relationship with God the Lord Christ Jesus.
1.Love God and Love Mankind
Deuteronomy 6:5/Luke 10:27 -Love the Lord with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all your strength and with all of your mind, and, Love your neighbour as yourself.
Love means “commitment to the highest good” to love is to commit to the highest good that is
possible for another person. The greatest love and highest commitment possible is a relationship with God in Jesus Christ.
2.Read the bible
JOHN 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman who needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Joshua1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success
It is crucial to read the Bible especially in today’s hectic society. Unfortunately you will not get God’s word reinforced to you on the nightly news, or in any other segment of society. Reading daily, even one or two sentences in the morning and evening will help to fill your days with God’s inspiration and love. The Bible is God’s actual word. The Bible has been remarkably well preserved and is an accurate translation of what God intends for us to know about him.
3. Pray
1st THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Prayer is our way of communicating with God. As with any relationship communication is crucial.
Prayer isn’t the only thing Christians have; but it is the best thing we have. While God desires to do many things for us he will not do some of them unless we specifically ask Him in prayer. Jesus said “you have not because you ask not.” Check this website for more information on prayer
4.Fellowship /attend Church
ACTS 2:46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God.
Fellowship, attending church and other Christian functions is an anchor for our faith. Being around
other Christians is the best way to see how God is working in the lives of other people, and it is the best way to be strengthened and built up in your own Christian walk.
4.Water baptism. Jesus gave a commandment that we should be baptised in the name of the God the father, Son and Holy Spirit. Baptism is a way of identifying with the dead and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ Click here to read more
5.Continue in faith and be led by the Holy Spirit
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
PSALMS 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God
In becoming a Christian you now have the strength through Jesus to overcome worldly problems and addictions. Yes – it is necessary to turn from past deeds. Deeds that inside your heart you known to be wrong, even slightly wrong.
6. Proclaim your faith in JESUS
Matt 10:27 Whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns Me before men I will disown him before My Father in heaven.
