Learning to live the Christian life can be daunting if not
challenging, but the rewards will be life “affecting” to those who come in
contact with you. Your life is no longer
yours to be directed, but we have been bought with a price that we are unable
to pay back. It is only through our complete obedience to the owner that we
walk into this new life to be taught, led and change into His image. This new life will be one with challenges but
don’t be dismayed because we have One who is with us till the end of time, we
have One who will fight our battles for us, and we have One who intercedes on
our behalf, in other words our new Master knows everything we will have to endure
and He promises us that He will never leave us neither will He forsake us.
Below are some guidelines
that we can choose to follow in staying the course with our new Master and if
necessary we may even be accountable to each other if we ever start to lack
encouragement. Sometimes as “old Saints”
we may have gotten accustom to doing things our way so this can be a reminder
that we have to put ‘our way’ down and choose God’s way. And for the new convert, this will help with
direction of how to proceed in the Christian life. I pray that you will be
bless with this and please share this with others you feel may profit from it.
