YOUR FIRST STEPS

You, my friend, have taken a life-changing step. You have decided to begin a new life. God has become your Heavenly Father and you are now His child; a wonderful eternal relationship has begun. It is really a brand-new beginning. In the words of Jesus, you have been “born again,” after obeying Acts 2:38. Possibly you feel very helpless to explain what has taken place. A new sense of freedom is yours. You are something like a happy child let loose in a big park. Practically everything is touched with divine newness and it is delicious. Do not be perplexed by what you have experienced, for this is wonderfully normal and right. The Apostle Paul puts it this way, “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
