Sharing the gospel with the unsaved and bringing them to Christ is part of the essence of being a Christian. Study this chapter. This is one of the fundamental cornerstones of being a disciple.

To grow as a Christian

Too often, we hear that people are negative about "people just raising their hands and accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour. The problem is NEVER with "raise your hand," but by taking responsibility to begin to disciple the new convert immediately.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18).

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good (1 Peter 2:2-3).

Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness (Colossians 2:6-7).

How does someone grow spiritually after they give their life to Christ?
