Asking for a Friend- What do new believers need to do right away?


Listen Later

Welcome to the Asking for a Friend Podcast.

This week’s question is “What are the 3 most important things for a new believer to do immediately?”

Show Notes:

Baptism:        

- In the early church, we are always told, “Repent, Believe,

then be Baptized.” (Acts 2:38)

- Acts 16 with the Philippian Jailer.

- Baptism isn’t required for salvation but a sign of an

inward reality of the change in your heart and a sign of obedience.

- If you have accepted Christ as your savior and would

like more information on baptism, contact Corner Bible Church or your local church.

Join a solid local church and small

group of believers

- Christianity in the New Testament is always taking

place in the confines of community.

- Important to find a biblical church. Be wary of

churches caught in tradition and culture.

- Hebrews says to not neglect meeting together.

- The early church in Acts met together daily to grow.

- Church is not meant to just fill your cup but to also

pour into.

- A survey from Summit Church revealed that people didn’t

feel growth in their spiritual life until they joined a serving team, not just a small group.

Read your Bible – Dive deeper

- Find a Bible Study that works for you and engage in God

daily (5-5-5 method)

- We’ve been given in God’s word as what to do and he

uses it to speak to us

- A great part to start is John or any of the gospels. James and Acts are also good to continue the study. Find a partner to go through to hold you accountable is a great way to keep on track.

- Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-23, Mark 4:1-20,

Luke 8:4-15) talks about new believers that don’t place their energy into firmly rooting themselves in God and wither away.

 

This is a great question for both new believers and established believers. As new believers, it’s a great starting point. For established believers, it’s a good time to take an inventory of our own lives to make sure we are still doing these things. Also, it’s a great list to use when helping new believers become established.
