Have you recently asked Jesus to be your Lord and Saviour? Are you searching for some clear answers about who God is, what He has and can do for you? Need a Bible? or do you simply need someone to talk to? We care and want you to know God in a personal way.
” as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby…” (1 Peter 2:2 NKJV). In the text, coming to Christ is described metaphorically as a newborn baby requiring the nutrients of milk to survive and grow. Just as a newborn is dependent on care for survival, the same is true for a new believer. What does that care look like? It comes in the form of prayer, bible reading, and connecting to the church. Each of these components plays a vital role in your growth and development as a Christian.
Prayer
Prayer is simply talking to God. How awesome is it to have an audience with the Creator of the Universe, who not only responds but understand all areas of our lives. “Just as we build a relationship with others through communication, the same applies to a relationship with Christ. ” But I, O Lord, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you.”(Psalm 88:13 ESV).
The Bible
If a friend allowed you to peer into her journal, you would immediately begin to know her far deeper than just an acquaintance. God gives you his journal and memoir of Himself, to you. It was written over the course of thousands of years through the hands of people who never met each other but yet provides a mysterious tapestry and unity of their inspiration. These 66 separate books are synonymous with each other and join together an incredible singular story which is why the word Bible simply means “The Book”. The Bible is far different than the novels you find at Barnes & Noble. This is a book that historians have used to uncover archeological finds of the oldest known cities to mankind. This is a book that has consistently succeeded in telling what was going to happen in the future. It is a book of the past and the future, but most importantly, it is a book for the present, for now, for you. God wants you to know Him through his memoir. God places much confidence in the written word that has not changed in thousands of years.
The Church
If you first met someone in just one hour, it would be safe to say, you don’t know them very well. What if you met 3 others who know that person very well and tell you about him from their own experience? Wouldn’t you begin to get a much better picture of who that person is than just a narrow one-sided viewpoint? That’s partly why God chooses to meet you, many times, through others who know Him well. A real Church is not some ornate religious cathedral, but simply a place, a gathering where you can come to know God better because you get to hear about Him. The Bible says ” So faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of God” (Romans 10:17 ESV) and with regards to the gathering..” not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as in the manner of some” (Hebrews 10:25 NKJV).
