“Fight the good fight of faith. Take ahold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession in front of many witnesses 1 Timothy 6:12
Once we become a Christian we are on a journey for the rest of our lives. God is perfecting us more every day until the day of Christ Jesus. We will never be perfect but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to be all that we can be with God’s help. He already loves us very much and he wants to clothe us in righteousness. We may feel that we will never be enough but that’s just a lie from the devil. Each morning we wake to a brand new day to be all that we can be. It will always be a battle between good and evil but with God we are up to the task. Jesus blood has covered us and our enemy cannot do anything to hurt us or take away our salvation. If something does happen we will have strength through it and it will strengthen us in the process. When we become believers it is important to take the next step and be baptized. To take what is in your heart public by showing people that you want to serve only your new King, Jesus. But it shows yourself also that you mean business and helps you become more committed in your new relationship. Once you are well committed you can start plans for how you are going to grow your relationship. Spending more time in prayer and reading God’s word and doing what you feel the Holy Spirit telling you to do. You want to begin doing that next right thing and that is unique to your relationship. I began sharing my weekly blog with friends and spending my sabbath day as holy to me. That has grown to more ways of putting God first with my own twist. I pray about the same things every day because they are important to me. Like I never forget to pray for our first responders each day and for their safety. I pray for elected officers even if I didn’t vote for them specifically. But all these things help me keep growing. It is important to me to be the best me I can be because I desire to please God and the fringe benefits have been good also.
