To Become an Effective and Productive Christian
Do not be shortsighted and blind forgetting you have been cleansed from your past sins.
GOD THE FATHER
Always remember our Help cometh from the LORD, train your mind to always look above and think the highest thought GOD has towards you through his word the Holy Bible.
JESUS THE SON
Always remember his finished work on the cross. John 3:16 For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son JESUS CHRIST. That whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
John 14:15 – 17 If you love me you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you and be with you forever. The Spirit of truth (HOLY SPIRIT)
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BORN AGAIN
PROCESS OF SALVATION
01
DECLARATION
I believe in you GOD my father. I believe in JESUS CHRIST your only son and that he died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day for my victory. I believe this in my heart and confess it with my mouth today that JESUS CHRIST is my Savior and Lord.
02
SANCTIFICATION & FELLOWSHIP
You have just made the best decision of your life but what does it mean? It means that you now have to change the way you think, talk and behave to become an ambassador of the person of JESUS CHRIST who you have confessed as your savior. It is not an overnight journey and as human beings we are not perfect but reading the word of GOD and fellowshipping or spending time with like minded believers can help you. Romans 10:17 Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of GOD.
2nd Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in CHRIST, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from GOD, who reconciled us to himself through JESUS CHRIST and gave us the ministry of reconciliation
03
GLORIFICATION
Salvation is a journey to become like our savior JESUS CHRIST in thought, in word and in deed. Galatians 2:20-21 I have been crucified with CHRIST and I no longer live, but CHRIST lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of GOD, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of GOD, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, CHRIST died for nothing!
All this may seem a little confusing when you are first Born Again but remember CHRIST our savior is full of Grace and he loves you regardless like a child in Sunday School read your Bible and pray everyday if you want to grow, as you do this simple task you find yourself slowly changing even without knowing.
WAYS TO CONNECT WITH GOD
HERE ARE FOUR WAYS
- Read his word (your Bible)
- Prayer
- Praise and Worship
- Service
A LIFE OF SERVICE
Matthew 16:26
REMEMBER TO TESTIFY IF GOD HAS BEEN GOOD TO YOU
Matthew 5:16 Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven.
“EXPERIENCING PEACE”
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 14:27
“EXPERIENCING BLESSINGS”
The LORD remembers us and will bless us; He will bless his people Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron, He will bless those who fear the LORD great and small alike.
May the LORD cause you to flourish, both you and your children. May you be blessed by the LORD, the maker of Heaven and Earth.

Psalm 115:12-15
“EXPERIENCING DELIVERANCE”
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

2 Corinthians 10:3-4
accessing help as a christian?
GOD created us to be relational beings.
Who can I talk to about my Christianity?
Always remember your first source is GOD through prayer and his word the Bible. Join a local church, cell group, find your local pastor and if you are in a non Christian environment these days you have the internet.
How do I witness to others?
Easiest way is leading by example through your deeds may those around you see CHRIST in you, but you could also simply tell them or invite them to your local church.
What is the Greatest Commandment?
Love is the greatest force in the entire universe. Matthew 22:36-39. Love the LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.
