Serving in Worship

He Wants You!Making the decision to become a Christ follower is one of the biggest and most important decisions one will make in their life. It is not a decision to take lightly. Jesus warns us to count the cost before following Him. The cost is your life. A christian’s life is no longer their own, but is for Christ. For one to be saved, added to the Lord’s church and identified as a Christian, the Bible tells us one must:

• Hear the Word of God (Rom. 10:17).• Have faith in God (Heb. 11:6).• Repent of your sins (2 Cor. 7:10).• Confess your faith in Christ (Rom.10:9,10).• Be baptized for the remission of your sins (Acts 2:38;

Mark 16:16). After one becomes a Christian, they must continue to live faithfully to God. Your salvation can be canceled if the costs were not counted before becoming a Christian. Some keys to living faithfully include:

• Regularly attend the services of the church (Acts 20:7; Heb. 10:25).

• Worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24 Col. 3:17).

• Pray frequently (1 Thess 5:17; James 5:16).• Develop good qualities of your character (Gal.

5:22,23; Eph. 6:13-18; Phil. 4:8; 2 Pet. 1:5-8).
