Salvation - Day 1

New Believer - Connecting To Jesus

John 15:4-8 NIV
“Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”

We’d really encourage you to take the best portion of your day, when you’re most awake and most alive, and give it to God. For most people this is in the morning, while for others it’s during lunch or even in the evening. Take 10-15 minutes to read each day’s message in this series and watch that day’s video. Prioritize the “Challenge” at the end of each message. Do it that day or the next. Ask God how it would change your life if you actually implemented the message in your life. Remember, this walk with God isn’t just about information, but transformation! Keep Jesus on your mind as you go through your day. Simply pray, “Jesus, I want to know you more,” while in the car, at work, during school, doing laundry, etc.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE: Write out some things that you hope, pray, and expect to change as a result of your new connection to Jesus. Put that list where you will see it daily. What’s possible for the God of creation to accomplish in you over the next seven days?
