Becoming a Christian is a lot like getting married. When a person has a wedding, they gain a spouse. But just because someone has a spouse, that doesn't mean they have a good marriage. You can have a great wedding and a great spouse, but a great marriage doesn't just happen. It takes time and effort. When we respond to the gospel in faith, we gain a Savior. But just because we have a Savior, that doesn't mean we have a personal friendship with him. How a relationship with God works is no different than how any other healthy relationship works.NEW LIFE IN JESUS was written to help you, and others who feel new to their faith, move forward from your salvation experience into the development of a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. You will see what God wants for every one of us. You will learn why salvation is necessary, and how it was provided. And you will understand how friendship with God is actually experienced.
