What's the best way to be on the right Course

A new christian is like a baby in Christ, everything has to be taken one step at a time. He needs to read the Bible to get familiar with His written word...even if he does not understand everything. I believe every child of God can feed off his word in order to grow. A lot of prayer!!!! God is faithful if we seek with all our beings...he will supply all we need to grow. Also we need to learn to listen the Holy Spirit....We need recognize the voice of our sheperd.

How about praying everyday?HERE IS PRAYER OF THE ETHIOPIANS IN GLORIFICATION OF THE LORD Our Father God! We thank You, and glorify You for the prayer which Your Son Jesus Christ taught us to say, “Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name. Your Kingdom come. Your Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation; but deliver us from the evil one. For, Yours is The Kingdom, and The Power, and The Glory, forever. Amen. ” and, through His atonement, for the answer You gave us to our supplication in that prayer. You provided us with everything that pertains to our spiritual and material needs for the body as well as for the soul. Your generosity for us is bountiful; Your mercy, complete; Your love, perfect, and Your grace, overflowing. Through the salvation of Your Son, born of the Holy Virgin Mary, the Grace of the Holy Spirit descended over and filled the whole world. Thus, today You reside not only in Heavens, but on Earth as well. Your Name is hallowed also on Earth. Your will that is done in Heavens is done also on Earth. Your Kingdom has come and is revealed on Earth. By Your endowment of Nature, We recognized that You have arranged for our daily bread and for the entire life-long provisions of our bodily needs. You gave us, on daily basis, the Holy Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Your Son as nourishment for our Soul, and as an assurance for our salvation and eternal life. Through the same Sacrament, You exonerated us completely from our sins and iniquities once for all, and empowered us to forgive the debts of our debtors. For us to be Your Children, You granted us the exaltation of the spiritual birth of Baptism and the Sacrament of the Grace of Penance. You led us out of every temptation, delivered us from evil, and overthrew the powers of the Devil and Death that dominated our lives. Finally, You ordained for us the honour and the privilege to live in the Rapture of Your Resurrection. O Lord! We are always grateful to You for Your inexpressible generosity, mercy, love and grace, as well as for all our needs that You provided us before we even ask You. We wait for the time You promised us to come, when Your Kingdom of Truth, in which we are now blessed to live, under the Kingship of Jesus Christ, “The Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah”, will prevail and destroy Evil, Sin and Death completely. Yes, we wait for the day when It actually reveals Itself to the material world and universally reigns over the whole realms of Creation. Power, Glory and Kingdom are Yours, today as ever and forever, world without end. Amen. PRAYER OF THE ETHIOPIANS IN EXALTATION OF THE HOLY MOTHER. Our Holy Mother Mary! With the Words of Greeting of the Angel Saint Gabriel, we bow to You in solemn salutation saying, “Hail, O Favoured One!” You are Virgin both in soul and in body. Because of Your perfect chastity, You became the Mother of the Almighty God. And so, You deserve such glorious salutation. Your womb bore the Holy Adam who is the Sacred Fruit of the Tree of Life. Hence, You are the Holy Eve, the Chosen and the Blessed One among all the women. In the early times, the Prophets spoke of You as “Ethiopia stretches out Her Hands to God”, and we addressed you as ‘Our Mother Zion’. Rejoice, O Our Queen in Heavens and on Earth! God, through Your instrumentality fulfilled His promise of our Salvation and granted His Eternal Covenant of Mercy to His Creation. And so, we always praise You saying. “You are the Blessed, full of Grace.” In the Words of Jesus Christ, our Saviour, Priest and King, we are Your children, committed to Your Maternal guardianship; and You are our Holy Mother, entrusted to our spiritual dedication. Thus, we believe Your Motherhood that has never forsaken Your beloved Son will always be with us. We thank Our Gracious Father, God the Most High, for His Benevolence of such magnitude. World without end, Amen.

find a church that quotes the word, "proverbs 3:13 says, (Psalms 23 says) and so on and so forth. Since you don't know the word you need a church that you know will teach correctly and as far as I know if they're preaching by verse you may be on the right trackif you don't understand ask God first, then the pastor or someone you trust that is knowledgable of the bible.If they're preaching against the bible and you know this, go to another church never give up hope because the bible says "trust in the lord, with all of thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding, in all of thy ways, acknowldge him, and he will direct thy paths"that's just the beginning but try this SincerelyYour Brother in Christ

(David161099;56350)
Please give new eyes to this.If a new Christian asked you: "What is the best way I can live a life filled with Christ".............. then what practical advice would you give to them?I know it may seem a simple question, but it is important. :study: :bible:
David161099;56360, The most important thing to remember is: God's word, the Bible is the only thing that can be trusted, ABSOLUTELY. Jesus told us that Dod's word is TRUTH, John 17:17. A very important thing to remember is: It is not the ones looked on by the WORLD that is God's people, but they are the ones that are looked down on by the world, just the same as it was in Jesus' day, 1Cor 1:26-29.. It is the ones hated by the world, just as Jesus was, that are his disciples, Matt 10:22, 23,24:9, Matt 5:10-12, Luke 6:22,23. Consider Luke 6:26, which tells us: Woe, when all men speak well of you, for the same is what the foorefathers did to the false prophets. So all the glory bestoed on all these great preachers, does not show that they are looked on with favor by God, but just the opposite. All people who want to live in righteousness, WILL be persecuted, 2Tim 3:12. So if a group or congregation is not hated by all nations they are not God;s people. Another thing to remember: All religions are not leading to the same place. There is only ONE religion that is favored by God, Eph 4:4-6. Just as there are requirements to qualify for anything important, ther are qualifications that a Christian MUST fulfill, 1Pet 2:21, 1John 2:3-6. It is only the ones doing God's will that will be saved, Matt 7:21-23, and that number is very few when compared with the many in the world, Matt 7:13,14, Luke 13:23,24. Another thing is: The ones who do what Jesus ordered, just before he went back to heaven, Matt 28:19,20, 24:14, Acts 5:42, 20:20, 2Tim 4:2-5.. Not only would they be distinguished by the teaching work they would do, but also by the love they show to everyone, John 13:34,35, and by teaching the same thing, the truth from God's word, John 4:23,23, 1Cor 1:10, 1Pet 3:15.
