Jesus: Our Living Hope

Jesus is the Son of God who came down to Earth to die for our sins. He rose from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father in heaven. Jesus is the only way to know God and to be saved from our sins. We must put our trust in him alone. “Jesus never fails.”

We should follow Jesus’ command to go and be his witnesses by sharing the Good News that he loves us enough to die for our sins so that everyone can have eternal life with God.

Discipleship: Growing in Love for Christ & Others

We are all made in God’s image, which is why we can all learn more about God and love others. We need the Holy Spirit to help us grow closer to God. Churches should disciple people by helping them grow in their relationship with Jesus, learning how to study the Bible, growing stronger in our faith through worship & prayer, becoming better people (which includes evangelizing the people around us), and finding ways to serve. Churches should be a place where we can grow in our love for God and others.

Many helpful tips on being discipled can be found in churches. Here are a few of the most important ones to remember:

1. Churches are places where we can learn more about Jesus and grow closer to him. We need to be willing to listen to what God is saying to us through his Word, the Bible.

2. Churches should disciple people by helping them grow in their relationship with Jesus, learning how to study the Bible, growing stronger in our faith through worship & prayer, becoming better people (which includes evangelizing the people around us), and finding ways to serve.

3. We should also be willing to share our testimonies with others and tell them about how Jesus has changed our lives.

Baptism: A Statement of Faith in Christ

When we are baptized, it is a statement that we have placed our trust in Jesus for our salvation. Our hope is found in God through Jesus, not ourselves or anything else.

“And now, with tears streaming down my face, I am baptized into the death of Christ. I am buried with him so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, I may live a new life.” Romans 6:3-4

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19

“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Romans 6:4

Prayer

Prayer is one of the most important things we can do as Christians. It’s a way for us to communicate with God, and it’s also a way for us to receive his guidance and help. Prayer is simply talking to God, and there are no set rules about how or when we should pray. We can pray any time, anywhere – even in the middle of a busy day.

The Bible tells us that prayer is very important to God: “And this is the confidence that we have before Him: Whenever we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we asked of him.” 1 John 5:14-15

When we pray, we should:

1. be honest with God and tell him everything – the good, the bad, and the ugly

2. be persistent and keep asking God for what we want/need

3. be patient and wait for God to answer our prayers

4. remember that God loves us and wants what’s best for us

5. thank God for all the good things he’s done for us

6. thank God for being with us during the difficult things in our lives

Evangelism

Some people would say that evangelism is one of the most important things we can do as Christians. As Christians, it’s our job to tell others about Jesus Christ and help them come to know him. But before we can do that, we need to get to know God ourselves.

There are many different ways in which we can spread the word about Jesus, but it’s important to remember that whatever methods we use should always be done with love. It is easy for us to think that our message is the only way people will be able to get to heaven, but if we can’t spread the word about Jesus in a loving way, then people are not going to listen. We should never force our beliefs on somebody else because that is just not how God wants us to do it.

Our motivation for evangelism should be out of love for Christ and the desire to share his message with others. We should not share our faith with people to force them into becoming Christians or to humiliate them in any way. God is perfect, and he knows all the desires of our hearts. If we are sincere about sharing Jesus with other people, then God will show us how best to do it when the right time comes along.
