CoJourners: Learning to Share Your FaithEgzanp

Get Ready

Mentoring others on their spiritual journey can be a challenge. But God has provided the means of preparation. It is all found in his Word. In this passage, Paul reveals the pathway of preparation. He states, “The man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” How? It is the product of being transformed by God’s Word.

God’s Word instructs us in all we need to know and understand about following Christ. It shows us where we are falling short, rebuking us with love. It helps us get back on track, correcting us from our wandering ways. And finally it trains us in how to live rightly. As we are experiencing the impact of the Word in our lives, we are being equipped to help others as well.

Thought: You only need to be one step ahead to help someone following behind.

Take a Step: With a more mature believer, identify five to ten basic concepts a new believer needs to understand and experience. Find a key passage of the Bible for each one. Write the topics and references on the flyleaf of your Bible so that you can always refer to them.
