GOD'S REQUIREMENTS FOR CHRISTIANS

1. Read and Study your Bible - Psalm 119:11, 105

2. Have a daily prayer life - 1 Thessalonians 5:17

3. Attend a good Bible believing church - Hebrews 10:24-25

4. Give money to the Lord's work - 2 Corinthians 8:11-12; Deuteronomy 16:17

5. Give yourself to some phase of the Lord's work - Romans 12:1

6. Refuse to partake in the old sins which God has delivered you from - Romans 12:2

7. Get to know Christ because too many Christians know about Him but they do not know Him intimately - Matthew 11:28-30

8. Be a witness to the gospel and personally spread the gospel to friends, family and even those you do not know personally – Matthew 24:14; Mark 16:15

 

Some Realities of the Christian Life we must Face:

1. We will be rejected by some people - Matthew 12:14

2. Not every Christian will be in agreement with other Christians - Acts 15:36-41

3. Satan will tempt us but God will give us a way of escape - 1 Corinthians 10:13

4. We will be misunderstood - John 3:3-7

5. All your problems will not go away but sometimes they intensify - Philippians 2:7

6. Sometimes we will sin against God because we still have bodies which lust after sin – 2 Samuel 12:13

 

Don't get scared because it is a wonderful life but too many portray it as one big "high" when it isn't. This is why when tough times come, these people are the first to fail because they are unprepared. As you begin your walk with God, you will see that the problems which once seemed paramount will look like a molehill in comparison to the majesty of God.
