When a person has accepted Jesus as their savior, what comes next? What can an individual or a church do to guide them on their walk with Christ?
The purpose of this study is to guide individuals who have recently accepted Jesus as their Savior through understanding their changed status and purpose as disciples. It begins by discussing salvation to help the new believer clearly understand their new identity and status and how they can live out the potential of this experience.
The book continues with topics that build on the basic salvation experience: the renewing of the mind, the family of God, baptism, prayer, presence and participation with God's family, gifts and stewardship, service, spiritual warfare, spiritual gifts and fruit, and one's witness and how it can impact others.
The study emphasizes that salvation is not a private matter but requires sharing the good news with others. Personal reflections and Deep Dive Questions are provided to facilitate self-exploration and growth in understanding one's new identity in Christ. These questions make this study a valuable experience for more experienced Christians as well. With its emphasis on sharing, it could be exceptionally valuable in a group involving a variety of levels of experience.
This book is primarily designed to be used for small group or church-wide studies, though it can be read on its own.
