What Should I Do Now That Im A Christian 10 Pack
$4.47Are you a Christian?
Have you trusted in the cross and resurrection of Christ for salvation? If so, you now have the joy of knowing your sins are forgiven. You now have the privilege of living every day in the confidence that, in Christ, God is for you.
But what now? What does it mean to follow Jesus for the rest of your life?
I want to offer you a few specific things you should do now that you’re a Christian. No matter your circumstances, this road map will help you thrive as a disciple of Jesus.
1. Get Baptized
If you have recently become a Christian, the first thing you should do is get baptized. Why? Because baptism is how Jesus commanded Christians to profess publicly their faith in him (Matthew 28:19). Jesus’s instructions are quite clear: Believe the gospel; get baptized. In that moment, you are saying to the world, “I belong to Jesus.” As a friend of mine says, when we are baptized, we put on the Team Jesus jersey.
Baptism is also how a church affirms our profession of faith and receives us into membership. We will think more about the importance of the local church in a minute. For now, just notice that Jesus gave the ordinance of baptism to the church (Matthew 28:18-20). The Bible records that the early church brought people into membership by baptizing them after they had shown evidence of genuine repentance (Acts 2:41). When we follow Christ in baptism, we declare our allegiance to Jesus and at the same time the church affirms that our allegiance is genuine.
What should you do now that you’re a Christian?
If you haven’t been baptized, find a faithful, gospel-preaching, Bible-loving church–and pursue baptism.2. Join a Local Church
In Christ, God has forgiven us of our sins and received us as sons and daughters. He has not only acquitted us in his courtroom but also invited us to the family dinner table. Through Christ, we know God as our Father–we have a personal relationship with God.
But we shouldn’t confuse a personal relationship with a private relationship. God never intended for us to follow him by ourselves. God saves us into a community, and he designed our relationship with him to include fellow believers who are walking the same path of obedience. Being reconciled to God means being reconciled to his people (Ephesians 2:11-21; 1 Peter 2:10).
The New Testament is filled with “one another” passages for precisely this reason. Now that we are in Christ we are meant to do the following:

Morning Has Come 10 Pack
$4.47When I was a teenager, I experienced my first struggles with insomnia. I would lie in bed for hours without being able to drift off to sleep. As the clock ticked on, I became anxious; would I get any rest? Something about the deep hours of the night is unsettling: black darkness all around, stiff silence, the feeling life itself has become frozen. In those moments, it is easy to wonder: Will the morning ever come?
Mornings feel precious, don’t they? We might say we aren’t a “morning person,” but we still eagerly look out the window when the warm light starts streaming in. When faced with a big decision, we often say, “I’ll sleep on it,” or “I’ll think about this in the morning.” Why do we talk and act as if the arrival of a new sunrise is somehow powerful? As if it can somehow purify or help us?
The Bible says that when God created the whole world, the very first thing he said was, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). Into the darkness, God spoke the very first morning. The world’s first morning was perfect. Its light was pure and unpolluted. It announced a day without sorrow, without death, without regret. In the beginning, absolutely everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31).
Maybe that’s one reason that we feel the way we do about mornings. The first light of a new day almost promises to wash away the anxieties, disappointments, and regrets of the past. A night of sleepless suffering melts before the sunbeams. Dawn seems to offer a second chance as the day begins again. Everything seems very good.
And yet, this feeling of new hope doesn’t last forever, does it? With a new day comes not just a new beginning, but the same old fears and failures from yesterday. Have you ever started a day determined to make it better than yesterday, only to feel helpless just hours later as the habits you vowed to kick come back or the promises you wanted to keep break like glass? The day that started very good goes back to being the same struggle you remember.
The Bible has an explanation for that too. Even though the world and human beings were very good when God created them, something happened. The Creator God gave his human creations a magnificent responsibility: to love and obey him in a perfect paradise and to extend God’s reign over all the universe as his prized image bearers. But the humans he created chose something different. They rejected his rules and their responsibility. They tried to find joy and wisdom apart from God. When they did this, so
