Remaining True
We don’t live in a neutral environment. The world, with all of its options and appeals, has a conforming influence on people’s lives (Rom.12:2). It presents a constant drag on those who seek to follow Christ. That influence puts the spiritual lives of young believers at risk.
The leaders in the early church were aware of this challenge. When they heard of the new believers in Antioch, they sent Barnabas to them. When he saw evidence of their faith, he moved into action, “encouraging them to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts” (Acts 11:23). It is no wonder that these believers increased in number and influence, becoming one of the major centers of Christianity in the early church.
When you become aware of new believers, you can play a similar role in their lives. Encourage them to remain true to the Lord, nurturing their spiritual growth. If you do, only time and eternity will reveal the impact they have because of you.
Thought: Your greatest impact will be in what others do because of you.
Take a Step: Pray for God to give you a handful of younger believers to mentor spiritually. Is there someone you can start with now?

Helping another person come to Christ is one of our greatest privileges as a believer. Yet it can also be intimidating for many of us. The Bible provides insights and encouragement to equip and engage us in the process. Three important truths lay the foundation: Everyone is on a spiritual journey, God is already at work, and he wants to use you. Join us for this 28-day journey together.
