TO THE BIBLE - 1 Peter 2:2 KJV
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.”

LET’S TALK
When a child is born, no parent would dream of leaving that little one unattended. The baby must be fed, cared for, and nurtured into maturity. It’s the same with those who come to Christ. Salvation is not the end but the beginning of a glorious journey, a brand-new life that requires guidance, feeding, and training in righteousness.

When someone receives salvation, he/she is a spiritual infant. Their recreated human spirit craves nourishment, and the Word of God is that nourishment—the only food that guarantees growth. Just as a newborn depends on milk to grow, a newly born-again Christian depends on the Word to be strengthened, rooted, and established in Christ.

This is where the church plays a vital role. It’s God’s training ground, the place where His children are taught, equipped, and nurtured. When you win a soul, don’t tell them, “Go to any nice church.” No! Bring them to your church, where you know the Word is taught in truth and power. They trusted your message of Christ; therefore, let them experience the fellowship of the same family from which you came. Introduce them to your pastor, leaders, and fellow brethren.

Show them that heaven rejoices over their salvation, and so does the church family. In this atmosphere of love and teaching, they will grow into strong, vibrant Christians who in turn will win and disciple others.

Make your evangelism complete. Help them see that their growth in Christ is a priority and that the church is the best environment for them to flourish spiritually. If you’re not yet a member of a local church, or seeking one, you could begin by contacting the person or church who gave you this book, or log on to www.christembassy.org for more information.
