The Basics
of Walking in the Christian Life

in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 The things which
you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses,
entrust these to
faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
A Christian has Invited
Jesus to be Lord of their Life
Admit you have sinned against God
Romans 3:10 THERE IS NONE
RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE
Romans 3:23 All have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God
Believe Jesus Christ Died on the Cross to save you from your Sin
Jesus
lived a the perfect sinless life Jesus we could not live & in our place
died the death we could not die for our sins as a Sacrifice before God in our stead.
Romans
5:8God demonstrates His own love toward
us,
in that while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us.
Romans
6:23
For the wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Confess Jesus Christ as the Lord of your Life
Romans 10:9
If you confess with your mouth
Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved
Acknowledge your sin -
Confess your sin -
Repent of your sin
“Turn to God & from
your sin”
LORD---Lordship of
Christ---Jesus Christ’s authority to rule your life as a Christian
SAVIOR---Deliverer,
preserver---Jesus Christ’s life given to deliver humanity from the wrath of God

I
am sorry for breaking Your Law and my disobedience
Thank
You for dying on the Cross and being raised from the dead to make my Salvation
possible
I
do invite You into my life to be Lord and Savior
Amen
A Christian is sure of their
Relationship with Jesus
John 10:27-30 27 "My
sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and
I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no
one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 "My
Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is
able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 "I
and the Father are one."
Romans 8:38-39 38 For I am
convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor
height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us
from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
A Christian Reads &
Studies the Bible
The Holy Scriptures of the Old &
New Testament are the only safe & infallible revelation of God to man. Thus, it is the infallible rule for a
believer’s life & practice.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is
inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for
training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may
be adequate, equipped for every good work.
For teaching
(Doctrine)……………………………..What is right in God’s eyes
For reproof (Conviction)…………………………….What is not
right in God’s eyes
For correction (Discipline)…………………………..How to get
it right in God’s eyes
For training in righteousness
(Discipleship)………How to stay right in God’s eyes
A Christian is a Person
who Prays
We are called out by God to be in an intimate
relationship with Him. He is our Creator and Redeemer and we are called to
communicate with him through prayer.
This prayer life is to be based in our love and devotion to God. A
prayer is not to be done as a means to gain the approval of men, for that in
itself is its own reward. It is a life
time means of communicating with our Lord.
This is to be a
constant activity
Requires
sacrifice
1
Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing
This is to be based upon
an ongoing relationship
Matthew 6:9-13 The
Lord’s Prayer – A Primer for Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer, more appropriately called the Disciple’s
Prayer, though it may be memorized,
it is an outline of how we are to communicate
with our God.
A Christian is to be
Baptized
Baptism is an act of obedience symbolizing
the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the
believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to
walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. It is a
testimony to a believer’s faith in the final resurrection of the dead. Being a church
ordinance, it is prerequisite to the privileges of church membership
and to the Lord's Supper. (Baptist Faith and Message 2000)
Jesus at the beginning of his earthly ministry set
the example of baptism in His own life (Mark 1:9) and commanded baptism as He
ascended to heaven (Matthew 28:18-20)
Baptism does not save you; it is an outward expression of an inward change
of the heart through faith in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior. Only your faith
in Jesus brings salvation.
Baptism
doesn’t make you a believer—it shows that you already believe.
As soon as you have decided to receive Jesus
into your life, you can and should be baptized. If you attempt to wait until you
are “perfect,” you’ll never feel “good enough.”
A Christian Attends
Church
The Church, of which Jesus is the Head
(Colossians
The writer of Hebrews explains we are not to
forsake going to church (Hebrew 10:25). Going to church is an indication to all
that we have passed from death into eternal life because we love the people of
God (1 John
A Christian Worships
“To worship God is to ascribe the proper worth
to God, to magnify His worthiness of praise, or better, to approach and address
God as He is Worthy.” Donald S. Whitney
Worship is about being
God-centered, or preoccupied by God.
Matthew
22:37-38
You shall Love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with
all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the Great and
foremost commandment.
Worship
is to be done both corporately with the Church & privately
in the Home.
A Christian Serves
Jesus by Witnessing to the World
Matthew 28:19-20 19 "Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching
them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always ,
even to the end of the age."
Jesus commanded His people to go & tell the
World that He loves them & died for them.
