The new birth is a brand new beginning for you. God has forgiven and forgotten all your sins through Jesus Christ. You have started a new life, New attitudes, new understanding, new habits, and new interests are about to emerge in your everyday living. The time has come for you to put “First Things Firstâ€.
LEARNING TO GROW
The Christian life is never stagnant. You will grow in God daily. As a seed is planted in the ground, dies, and then begins to grow. So you will grow. Your experience of conversion was an experience of dying to your old life and starting a new life in Jesus Christ.
You must grow daily. Let your relationship with Christ, your understanding of His Word, and every detail of your Christian life be better today than it was yesterday.
In time, your life will grow into the beautiful image of Christ and you will blossom and bear fruit. The Bible is the soil in which your new life grows. Understand it brings daily Christian growth. Prayer sends the roots of your life deep into God Himself. Experiences in the Holy Spirit and with other believers are like the refreshing rain. With all of these in action, you will grow.
