Grow in Christ! What is it to be a Christian? What is expected out of the Believer? When someone comes to Jesus, in repentance towards God through the blood of Christ, believing into Him, change happens, Salvation is granted and with that the new Believer is also a new creature. “…testifying both to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” Acts 20:21 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2nd Corinthians 5:17 There is a renewing of the mind and with this renewing of the mind a renewing of the direction and purpose of our lives. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2 “If then you are raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
