So let’s talk about what is next… God loves you.  Enjoy and grow the relationship with your Heavenly Father.  You have been adopted into His family.  You are a child of the One True King!!  Welcome to the family!!!!!You don't have to earn God's love.  He can't love you more than He already does and He will never love you less! 1.     Forgiven is forever – let’s talk about the finished work of Christ on the cross:a.      Are we clean?·        Acts 10:15, Acts 11:9, 1st John 1:7b.      Are we spotless?·        Eph. 5:27, Heb 9:13-15, Heb 9:24-28, 1st Peter 1:22-23c.      Are we redeemed?·        Eph 1:7, Eph 4:30, Romans 3:23-24d.      Are we justified?·        Romans 3:23-24, Romans 4:1-5, Romans 5:1-2e.      Are we reconciled?·        Romans 5:9-10f.       Are we saved?·        Romans 1:16-17, Romans 6:14, Romans 10:9-11  2.     Get a good Bible – you want a literal translation, not someone else’s opinion and then get a good study guide to dig deepera.     New King James Versionb.     Christian Standard Bible (CSB)c.      English Standard Version (ESV) 3.     Get into your Bible.  This is one of the most important parts.  Start with Matthew and move forward into the New Testament.  Romans is an amazing walk through of Christian theology.  Ephesians is my favorite book in the entire Bible (God’s plan and God’s love).  DON’T listen to what the internet says about God’s word.  Get into God’s word yourself. 4.     Then get a good Study Guide to let a study guide help answer questions with the guidance of someone with a bit more background.  There are two types: verse by verse and major topics.  Both have their benefits.  Verse by verse is a great companion as you read through the Bible, while it really helps to cover major topics that may appear over larger sections of the Bible (topics like eternal security or the Trinity).  I would recommend the following:  a.     Vernon McGee’s Through the Bible is a seven book set that goes verse by verse through the entire Old and New Testaments.  It is Old King James translation, but Dr. McGee does a great job walking through what various scriptures mean.  b.     Grounded in Truth by Adrian Rodgers two book series is a great discipleship tool that looks at important topics rather than individual verses.c.      Journey Discipleship by John Honeycutt is also a great discipleship tool that looks at important topics rather than individual verses. 5.     Find a good church – what to look fora.     Christian churchb.     Do they use a standard Bible translation, or something really out there?  God’s word is not negotiable1.     It’s okay if the Bible challenges you sometimesc.      Look for God’s peace 6.     The tomb is forever empty – Jesus is on the throne!!  Rejoice in the hope that is yours!!
