Christian Genesis "New Believers" Devotionals
Christian Genesis is excited to share the truth of God with new believers as you find comfort in the assurance of your salvation in Jesus Christ. Additionally, we hope to help prepare you for a successful walk with the Lord. Enjoy these free resources while you explore the love, wisdom, and grace of God.
Jesus loves each individual deeply. For this reason, he went to the cross to pay the price for our sins. Scripture teaches in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. WEB” Through the mercy and grace of God, Jesus made a way for reconciliation with our Creator.
Let us take this time to encourage you. Read the bible often. This is God’s primary means of communicating his word and will. Pray continually. This is our direct relationship with God. Seek understanding in counsel and submission to the Holy Spirit of God. Because of your new birth in Christ, like an infant, you will grow and progress through new stages of development. Along the way, enjoy the comfort and support of fellow believers.
You are not only a new believer, you are also a new creation. We read in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. WEB” The power to walk in faith and obedience to God’s will is yours by submission to God in allowing Christ to live through you.
Scripture: Romans 12:2, “Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. WEB”
