The first few weeks of your new life as a disciple are crucial. Satan is angry because of his loss and God’s gain and he will make an effort to get you off-track as soon as possible. (Revelation 12:7-12) This study will help you get off to a fast start and help you have the right focus to stay close to God and keep the devil at a distance.

Remember what has just happened
  • Romans 6:1-4 - You have begun a brand new life; you were born again (John 3:1-5)
  • Acts 2:36-41 - Every one of your sins has been forgiven and forgotten (Jeremiah 31:31-34)
  • Galatians 3:26-28 - The blood of Christ you received at baptism now covers and protects you.
  • Ephesians 1:13-14 - You received the Holy Spirit who gives you power (Romans 8:5-11)
  • 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 - You have been added to the body; enjoy your new family
Remember what got you to this point
  • Ephesians 4:17~24 - You humbled yourself and let others teach and challenge you – keep it up
  • Acts 19:17-20 - You were completely open with your sins – keep it up
  • Romans 6:17-18 - You obeyed the Bible teaching when you saw it – keep it up
  • Hebrews 3:12-14 - You spent good quality time with other disciples - keep it up

Key Phrase: Continue the ways you lived becoming a disciple
