1. Know |
When you accepted God’s free gift of eternal through faith in Christ Jesus, you became a new person in God’s eyes. All of the old things in your life have passed away and now all things are new. It is very important to that you know and understand, that God the Heavenly Father loves you with an awesome love and that the way God sees you now is different. First you are now sons and daughters of the Most High God. You have been adopted into His family and are heirs to the promises of God and to His kingdom. Your life is now hidden in Christ and God see Christ’s righteousness when He looks at you! We are free and walk in liberty knowing that now, if God is for us, who can be against us?

2. Meet & Share |
Share your decision to follow Christ with the others and
meet with others who believe. "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another" (Hebrews 10:24-25).

3. Be Baptized In Water |
Be baptized in water to show your new faith to others and to follow the example of Christ One act we do as Christians is to be baptized in water.
Getting baptized is not a condition for salvation or going to heaven. The
only way to go to heaven is what you did when you accepted the free gift of
eternal life through the death and resurrection of Christ. The early church
model for baptism was that it was done as soon as was possible after
confession of faith in Christ.

4. Talk To God |
You should talk to your Heavenly Father everyday. This is called prayer. Talking to God does not have to a ritual or done any particular way. God is now your Heavenly Father. He cares about you. He says, “Cast all of your cares upon Me for I care for you!” It is an awesome privilege and opportunity! After you believe in Jesus, you are given special access to God the Father through the blood and Name of Jesus. You ask God for healing, comfort, strength, peace, joy, anything! How to Pray? Simply say, My Father who is in Heaven, praise and glory to Your Holy Name! They kingdom come, and thy will be done on Earth as it is done in heaven. Give us food for this day and forgive us of our wrongdoings against you, as we forgive the wrongdoings others have done against us, do not let us be led into temptation, and deliver us from all evil, for Thy is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever, in Jesus name, Amen.

5. Read |
If you have one, read your Bible every day. This helps you to
understand more about God and His love for you! After you have read these three books, then you need to read slowly and very carefully the book of Romans. This is one of the most important and powerful books of the Bible. It is where God reveals fully the Doctrine of Grace. |

6. Ask For |
Ask for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit. When you accepted Christ you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of God. He lives inside of you always. As you talk to God in prayer ask Him for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit that Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11. You can ask God to baptize you (that is release the power) of the in the Holy Spirit. One evidence of this power being released in you is speaking in tongues and other spiritual gifts that are supernatural and are released to empower us as believers, and to minister to the world. When you speak in tongues, you are praying over the most important things that need prayer in your life.

7. Tell |
Tell others about God and His great love for them. Show the love and goodness of God in your own life. There is nothing greater that anyone can do for God than to tell others about His love and the free gift of salvation in His Son Jesus Christ. But, it not always what you say that is most important, but rather what you show in your daily lives. The Bible says, “And they will know that you are Christians by your love.” Jesus said, “Freely you have received, freely give. Go in my name and because you believe, others will know that I am!” Love God with all of your heart and love one another has God has loved you. |

Eternal Life “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Son of God, and believe in your heart that God rose him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with thy mouth confession is made unto salvation”. Romans 10:9-10 “These things have I written unto you who believe on the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God”. 1 John 5:13 “For by grace are you saved through faith, that not of yourself, it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast” Ephesians 2:8-9 |
Having Faith "Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! And does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will get it." Mark 11, Amplified Bible “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” Luke 18:27 “Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof: and I myself not worthy to come to you: but just say the word, and my servant shall be healed. When Jesus heard these things he marveled at him, and said unto the people I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.” Luke 7: 6-9 |
God’s Love for You “For God so greatly love and dearly prized the world that he gave his Son so that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life”. John 3:16. “God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” 1 John 4:16 “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? For I am persuaded , that nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8: 35-39 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not
envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is
not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of
wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always
protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” |
