Walking In Newness Of Life

Week One

Understanding God's Authority

Day One

[Remember to always begin your Bible study with prayer.]

1. Congratulations on becoming a disciple of Christ. This is a new beginning for you. As your brothers and sisters in Christ, we want to do all we can to help you (as you help us) to get to that goal of everlasting life. Now as we begin, take a few moments to write down what it has meant to you to become a Christian.

(In later years you may want to refer back to this paper to remember the serious commitment you have made for Christ.) [It might be a good idea to keep a daily journal so you can map your progress in your faith.]

2. Studying God's word will be one of the most important things you do as a Christian. It is important that you study with the proper zeal and respect for God's word. Turn to 1 Peter 2:2 and 2 Timothy 2:15. Write down what these verses mean to you in your Bible study:

3. Now, turn to Psalm 119:18,97. What do these verses tell you about what your attitude should be toward the Bible?

4.Bible study is the key ingredient in building your faith. Romans 10:17 says: "Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God". Your faith will grow steadily if you will take time each day to study your Bible. Turn and read Acts 17:11. What impresses you about the Bereans?

5. What goals or commitments can you make toward personal Bible study?

**SUGGESTION: There are many things that can get in the way of Bible study, prayer, and other spiritual activities. Set aside some quite time away from all distractions so you can properly devote yourself to the things of God.
