Life is governed by two entities, the “Spiritual Entity” which is comprised and ruled by God’s will and the “Natural Entity” which is comprised and ruled by Satan.
Before you knew Jesus as Lord and Savior, the entity that was a part of you or in control of you was a lifestyle of natural resources. This lifestyle is governed by the prince of darkness Satan. This is how the world lives today. But, there is more to life than natural reasoning.
Jesus told a Pharisees by the name of Nicodemus that a new birth has to take place for a lifestyle that is governed by God’s will, a spiritual guidance, John 3:7. Once Jesus becomes Lord and Savior, the spiritual process begins. Paul says,
“Therefore, if anyone is in Chris, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17.
So what’s the next step after being born-again?
A six-step system has been developed that will guide you on your Christian journey for success and in the things of God.
Let’s get started.
The Bible is your instruction manual or blueprint on how to live right before God. You should take 15 to 30 minutes a day to read your Bible. If possible, find a quiet place to read with no distractions. Find a Bible that you can understand and be comfortable with. There are many versions to choose from. The Bible is spiritual nourishment for spiritual growth.
Being around other believers will boost your confidence level in the things of God. Being in church will let you know there are others of the faith just like you. Make sure you choose a church that teaches the Word-Bible without being compromised. At this point in your Christian journey, you need real truth.
Develop a prayer life. Prayer is a way you communicate to God. Just as the Bible is read daily, your prayer life has to be daily. Find a time to pray and let God know the desires of your heart.
“Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonian 5:17)
This is the most pivotal step in your Christian journey. Mind renewal brings clarity and effectiveness for growth. Before you knew Jesus as Lord, your reasoning was governed worldly precepts or the natural way of living. Now the natural reasoning has to be replaced with spiritual reasoning and understanding. The only way to accomplish this is by the Grace of God. This process is a life time.
There are two types of Baptism. Water Baptism, Acts 8:38 and Acts 22:16 and Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Acts 1:8 and Acts 2:1-4.
Evangelize means to preach the gospel and good news to someone. Tell someone of your new conversion. It may feel a little uncomfortable at that moment, but keep pressing forward and tell someone about Jesus. A good place to start is at home and then branch out. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit for boldness. You may be rejected, but that’s ok because He knows the intent of your heart.
These Six steps have been given to you to help you get started on your Christian journey after being Born Again. They don’t have to be done in this particular order and were given as a foundation for you to grown on. Apply them and watch the transformation take place in your lives.
Congratulations on being saved. Your New life just started!
