Greetings in the name of the Lord God our Savior, Jesus Christ. So, you have met Jesus, asked Him into your heart and life, and are setting off to follow Him. But you would really like some help from people who have walked the path before you. Well, here you go!
Finding a Christian Faith There is no such thing as a solitary Christian. Jesus taught that the two keys to successful living are to love God and love other people like God loves them. One of the most important teachings of Christ is that all people were created by God on purpose to live fulfilling, peaceful, and joyful lives here on earth and then for eternity in heaven. To find out more about successful Christian living, you can check out Pastor Ethan McCardell's Be of Good Cheer: Discovering the Redeeming Quality of Struggle, Pastor Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life, Pastor Joel Osteen's Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential, and get yourself a copy of The Second Advent Christian Bible.
Deepening Your Faith Alright, so you know about the fundamentals of happy Christian life, but now you want to sort out some of the finer details of your faith and deepen your belief by broadening your understanding of Christian theology. The most important aspect of Christian Theology is understanding the Lordship/Deity of Jesus Christ. This is a point that has been hotly debated and seldom understood in the history of the church, but books like Pastor Andrew Dibb's Servetus, Swedenborg and the Nature of God and Emanuel Swedenborg's True Christian Religion, 2-Volume Set provide answers that challenge Christians to rethink traditions and more closely follow the Biblical truths that Jesus taught.
Christianity Takes Practice Christian faith is a work in progress, a decision that lasts a lifetime, and a commitment to the one true God of heaven and earth, Jesus Christ our Lord. And so, one final book that I would definitely recommend for exploring your relationship with God is Brother Lawrence's The Practice of the Presence of God. Christian life takes practice and our God is a God of second chances and eternal hope. God created you for eternal life, happiness, peace, and success and He is ready to show you the way and walk with you every step of it. And know that every believer has you in their prayers and is ready to walk with you no matter where you are, because that is what Christianity is all about.
