GROWING
IN CHRIST
Growing In Christ, you will learn that Christ’s
Spirit lives in you, giving you the power to live your new Christian
life. Now let’s focus on your new identity in Christ, and how you can
grow spiritually. When you become a Christian, you do not remain the
same, you totally change.
OBEDIENCE
Read John 14:21 and explain one way we show our love to the Lord. In
what ways can we put our faith into action?
PRAYER -- TALKING TO GOD
Read Philippians 4:6-7 and explain why prayer is so important. It is
good to pray often and communicate with God, thanking Him for all that
He is doing, and telling Him of your needs. Prayer is your new privilege
as a child of God.
FELLOWSHIP -- FRIENDSHIP WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS
As a new Christian, you are part of a family with many other Christian
brothers and sisters. What are several good reasons why you should spend
time with your new Christian friends? (Hebrews 10:24-25; Proverbs 27:17)
Who are some new Christian friends with whom you can begin to spend
time?
BIBLE STUDY -- GOD TALKS TO YOU
How does the Bible (God’s Word) help you? (2 Timothy 3:16-17) As you
read and study God’s Word, your faith in Christ and the intimacy of your
relationship will grow. Many of your needs will be met through the
knowledge you gain from the Bible. According to 1 Peter 2:2, what other
benefit do you see from studying the Bible?
WITNESSING -- SHARING CHRIST WITH OTHERS
What is the most important thing that has ever happened to you? What is
the most important thing you can communicate to another person? As a new
creation in Christ, what new responsibility do we have, according to 2
Corinthians 5:20? An ambassador is really a witness for Christ.
Witnessing involves telling others how you invited Christ into your
life, and how they can receive Him also. What does Christ instruct each
of us to do, according to Mark 16:15?
