    About this ebook

    An Introduction for New Believers is a
    guide to help the new believer understand some of the basic
    tenets of the Christian faith. The authors aim is to explain the gospel
    to help, encourage and inspire new believers who face particular
    issues and obstacles in the early stages of their relationship
    with God.
    The chapters covered in the book challenge and encourage new
    believers to progress to the next level in God. It is vitally important
    that discipleship training commences immediately after conversion in
    order that new believers establish a solid foundation in the faith. My
    hope is that this book will provide the necessary tools and resources
    to help new believers through the initial stages of their faith in God.

      Introduction

      The gospel invitation begins with the word ‘come’. Jesus said, come to me all those who are heavy laden and burden down and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28). The gospel means good news, and it has the power to transform lives. Many people are searching for a life of meaning and purpose. My search for meaning and purpose began by asking questions
