Before I get into the subject of this post, here is a
link to a very short, but important book from Chick
Publications that will help you learn how to grow
in your faith in Jesus Christ and how to live to
please God the Father in heaven. (I do not get a
commission from Chick, I just have read this
handy reference book several times, and think it’s
an awesome learning tool for all Christians to
read!) Link here.
Now to the subject of this post…

Testament in order to learn what Jesus Christ taught
his followers about living a godly life that is pleasing
to God the Father in heaven. When you live in
obedience to God who sacrificed His sinless Son
for you, you will feel guilt-free, joyful, and full of
peace because you are right with God.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth.

I recommend that you use the King James
Bible only. Why? The King James Bible was
around for hundreds of years before the 1800's
when sinful mankind (like necromancers* Westcott
and Hort) decided that they knew better than
God what His Holy Bible should have said!
The King James Bible was the Bible that
brought about the Reformation and worldwide
revivals. There have been no revivals since
the newer versions have been created. Think
about that. That's the difference between
having a Holy Bible that contains God's Words
instead of a man-made 'bible' that is man's
words not God’s Words!
(*Necromancers are people who talk to the dead.
They are not really talking to people who lived like
their loved ones, but to devils who are imitating
those people to keep people hooked on the occult.)

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold,
all things are become new.
But, don't neglect studying the Old Testament.
It is very important because it shows us just how
very loving, merciful, and patient God is towards us.
It shows us prophecies that God predicted about
Jesus Christ's life, death and resurrection that were
fulfilled in the New Testament. The Old Testament
also shows us yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecies when
God will judge the world for their rejection of his
Son, Jesus Christ, who died for the sins of everyone!

Attend a church to worship and praise God, to
learn the Bible, along with other believers, to
encourage one another, and to serve God.

And, if that church does not preach Jesus

LEAVE, and find a church that does! You can

them out on the internet.

Pray to God daily. Just talk to him like you
would to any friend. Tell him about your
needs and the needs of your friends and
loved ones. Ask him to forgive you of any
sins you have committed that day. Ask
him for help with your problems and to
take over any situations that you cannot
handle by yourself. Praise him for the
blessings he has given you that day.
But, most of all, be still and listen for him
to speak to your heart about what
he wants you to do that day.

Get baptized. Baptism is a public
testimony or witness to other people that you
have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal
Saviour and how he has changed your life.
Jesus was baptized as an example to us, his
followers, so we would do the same in obedience
to God.

Last, but not least, share your faith with
others. Tell them what Jesus Christ has
done to change your life and make you
a better person who is at peace with
God. Jesus told his disciples (that
includes us) to spread the good news
of His gospel of salvation by faith in His
death and resurrection to everyone we
can. I have heard it said that that is the
job of the preachers. But many people
will never set foot in a church, but are
longing to know how to get to heaven
and avoid hell!
