The Foundations of the Christian Life
If you have recently come to faith in Jesus Christ — let me first say, praise God. You have made the greatest decision of your entire life. Salvation is the beginning of everything new: a new heart, a new direction, a new relationship with God, and a new future filled with hope. The Bible says,
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
(2 Corinthians 5:17, JEN)
But as soon as a person experiences this new birth, a very honest question rises in their heart:
Now what? What comes next? How do I begin walking with Christ?
You know you’re saved — you know Christ has forgiven you — you know your sins are washed clean — but now you want to grow, to walk in your new relationship with the Lord, and to understand how to live as a Christian.
This is where many new believers get stuck — not because they lack sincerity, but because no one ever showed them the first steps of spiritual growth. Salvation is instant, but spiritual growth is learned — step by step, day by day, truth by truth.
You are spiritually newborn — and just like a newborn child needs nourishment, care, guidance, and instruction, a newborn Christian needs the same, spiritually speaking.
What most people don’t realize is this:
Being saved is the doorway — not the destination.
Christ did not only save you from sin — He saved you into a new life with Him.
You were not meant to wander forward trying to figure it out alone. God never designed the Christian life to be guesswork. He designed it to be guided — taught — nurtured — and built on a foundation of truth.
That is why I created this 5-Day course:
What’s Next After Salvation? — Learning the Basics of the Christian Life.
This is not a theological textbook.
This is not an abstract Bible study.
This is a step-by-step guide for your first steps as a follower of Jesus.
It will show you clearly and gently:
- What the Christian life looks like
- How to begin growing right now
- What God expects next in your walk
- And how you can become strong in your faith
Why So Many New Believers Struggle After Salvation
One of the heartbreaking realities in the Christian life today is this: countless people genuinely come to Christ… and then never grow. They remain spiritually fragile, spiritually uncertain, and spiritually undernourished — not because they lack faith, but because they lack guidance.
They were born again, but never discipled — forgiven, but never taught — converted, but never grounded.
They received salvation, but not instruction.
They received new life, but not direction.
And the result is a great tragedy:
they remain saved, but spiritually stagnant.
The New Birth Creates a New Desire — But Without Direction, New Believers Drift
When a child is born, the greatest danger is not that they don’t want to grow — it is that they don’t know how to grow.
The same is true spiritually.
A new believer often starts with excitement:
✔️ A hunger for God
✔️ A desire to know more
✔️ A longing to walk differently
✔️ A new heart that loves the Lord
But without guidance — without teaching — without discipleship — that fire slowly cools.
Not because they don’t love Jesus…
but because they were never shown how to walk with Him.
The Enemy Exploits Spiritual Infancy
The Bible tells us plainly that the enemy targets new believers because they are spiritually young, like newborn lambs learning to stand.
This is why Scripture says:
Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow.
(1 Peter 2:2, JEN)
God did not tell newborn Christians,
Figure it out by yourself.
He told them — you need milk —nourishment, instruction, and care.
You can only grow with the right spiritual foundation.
Where Many New Christians Fall Into Confusion
Without guidance, new believers often find themselves asking:
- How do I pray?
- How do I read the Bible and understand it?
- Do I have to go to church? Why does it matter?
- How do I talk to others about Jesus?
- What does it mean to be a disciple — not just a believer?
And when these questions are not answered, the believer begins to think:
Maybe I’m just not a good Christian… maybe I’m failing already…
No, friend — you are not failing.
You have simply not been taught yet.
The Christian Life Is Learned — It Doesn’t Just “Happen”
Growing in Christ is not automatic.
It is intentional.
That is why the Bible commands discipleship:
Go and make disciples, baptizing them… teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you.
(Matthew 28:19–20, JEN)
Notice — Jesus did not say,
Make converts and leave them alone.
He said:
Make disciples. Teach them. Help them grow.
There is a biblical process to spiritual growth —a path God Himself laid out for you.
And when a believer does not learn these first foundational steps, they often end up:
- feeling spiritually unstable
- unsure how to pray or study
- inconsistent in their walk
- vulnerable to discouragement
- easily confused by false teaching
- lonely in their faith journey
This is not what Christ wants for you.
God does not want you to remain spiritually fragile.
He wants you to become spiritually strong — rooted, growing, assured, and joyful.
And that begins by learning the basics — the first steps — that every disciple must take. That is exactly why this course exists.
What God Intends NEXT in the Christian Life (The Journey Begins)
When you were saved, God did not merely remove your sin — He began a work in you. Salvation is not the finish line… it is the starting line of a brand-new life.
Scripture tells us:
He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
(Philippians 1:6, JEN)
God began the work in your heart — and now He intends to continue it.
He saved you from sin so that He could grow you in Christ.
He rescued you out of darkness so that He could build you up in truth.
Many believers think salvation is the end of the story, but biblically, salvation is the doorway into discipleship — into learning Christ, following Christ, growing in Christ, and becoming more like Christ.
God’s Will is Not Just That You Believe — But That You Grow
The Bible makes this crystal clear:
Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
(2 Peter 3:18, JEN)
Growth is not optional.
It is expected, commanded, and joyfully provided for through God’s Word, prayer, fellowship in the church, and obedience.
God doesn’t want you to remain a newborn believer your whole life.
He wants you to become strong in faith, anchored in truth, established in love, and fruitful in obedience.
Spiritual Growth is a Journey — Not a Sprint
The Christian life is not lived in one giant leap — it is lived step by step.
And the first steps are the most important steps — the ones that set your footing, your foundation, your stability, and your direction.
God has a structure for your growth:
- You hear the gospel and believe. (This has happened — you are saved.)
- You begin learning how to walk with Him. (This is where you are now.)
Salvation is Christ in you.
Discipleship is you learning to walk in Him.
God Never Intended You to Walk Alone
From the very beginning of Scripture to the end, God’s pattern is clear:
He calls people into a family, a fellowship, a body, a flock.
There is no such thing in Scripture as a believer who grows in isolation.
Everyone God used — everyone God matured — everyone God strengthened — walked with His people, not apart from them.
Even Jesus surrounded Himself with disciples, walked in fellowship, and lived relationally.
Your Growth is Part of God’s Design
When you became a believer, God began leading you into three things:
What He Did | What He Now Intends |
Gave you new life | Now He will grow that life |
Gave you faith | Now He will strengthen that faith |
Restored you to Himself | Now He will teach you to walk with Him |
Made you His child | Now He will raise you in spiritual maturity |
This means the next step — the thing God wants for you right now — is not complexity, not theology degrees, not deep doctrines…
but foundation — the basics — the first stones of a life built on Christ.
This is why this 5-day course exists:
to guide you into those first steps.
Why This Course Exists (and Why You Need It)
This course was created for one simple reason:
new believers need guidance.
Not guesses.
Not vague encouragement.
Not figure it out for yourself.
But clear, biblical direction on what comes next.
When a baby is born, they are not left in a room to discover life on their own. They are nurtured — taught — protected — fed — and raised.
The same is true spiritually.
When you were saved, you were born again — spiritually newborn — and you now need the milk of the Word, fellowship with God, connection to His body, and guidance on how to walk with Christ in a real, daily way.
This course exists to do exactly that:
to help you begin your Christian life the right way — on a solid foundation.
Why This Course is Different
There are many books and studies that talk about advanced theology or big ideas… but few that take a believer by the hand and say:
Here is what it means to follow Jesus day by day — here is how to begin walking with Him in practice — here is what spiritual growth actually looks like.
This is not a lecture. This is discipleship. This is a pastor walking with you, step by step.
This course does not merely tell you information — it trains you how to live it.
It does not just say “grow” — it shows you how to grow.
This Course Exists Because Growth is Not Automatic
Many believers assume that time equals maturity. It does not.
Some have been saved for 10 or 20 years, yet still remain spiritually immature — not because they never loved Jesus, but because no one ever discipled them in the foundations.
Spiritual maturity does not come from time — it comes from training.
That is why Paul told Timothy:
Discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness. (1 Timothy 4:7, JEN)
The Christian life is formed — shaped — learned — cultivated — one biblical practice at a time.
This Course Exists Because Too Many Believers Drift
When a believer does not receive early discipleship, several things commonly happen:
- Their prayer life remains shallow or inconsistent
- The Bible feels confusing or overwhelming
- Church attendance feels optional or unfamiliar
- Their witness remains silent due to fear or uncertainty
- They know they should grow, but don’t know how
They love Christ — but live without the strength that comes from walking closely with Him.
This course is designed to prevent that drift — to establish you early, strongly, and clearly.
This Course Exists Because God Wants You to Flourish Spiritually
Christ did not save you so you would survive — He saved you so you would grow, flourish, and bear fruit.
Jesus said:
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be My disciples. (John 15:8, JEN)
Fruit does not appear by accident — it grows from rootedness.
This course helps you put down your first spiritual roots — so that everything God intends for your life can begin to unfold.
What You Will Learn in This 5-Day Course
This course is built around the five foundational disciplines that every Christian must learn in order to grow. These are not “advanced” concepts — they are the starting point of discipleship. They are the building blocks upon which all spiritual maturity rests.
Each day is designed to help you not only understand these truths — but to begin living them.
DAY 1 — Personal Bible Study: Learning to Hear God Speak
You will learn:
- Why the Bible is your spiritual nourishment
- How God speaks to you through His Word
- How to read with understanding (not confusion)
- How to begin a daily devotional life
- How to let Scripture reshape your thinking
- How to grow stable and strong through truth
Without the Word, a believer starves spiritually. With the Word, you grow.
DAY 2 — Prayer: Learning to Speak With God
You will learn:
- What prayer actually is (and is not)
- How to pray without feeling lost or unsure
- How to build consistency in prayer
- Why prayer is the believer’s lifeline
- What Jesus taught about prayer
- How prayer strengthens your soul
Prayer is not a ritual — it is a relationship.
DAY 3 — The Church: Learning to Walk With God’s People
You will learn:
- Why Christianity is not lived in isolation
- Why the church is essential, not optional
- What fellowship truly means
- Why spiritual growth happens in the body
- How God uses shepherding to protect you
- How to move from “attending” to “belonging”
You are saved into a body — not into spiritual loneliness.
DAY 4 — Witnessing: Learning to Share Christ With Others
You will learn:
- Why new believers are called to testify
- How the Holy Spirit empowers your witness
- How to share your faith naturally
- How to tell your story for God’s glory
- How evangelism becomes part of daily life
The Christian who grows inward will also overflow outward.
DAY 5 — Discipleship: Learning to Follow Christ as a Way of Life
You will learn:
- The difference between “believer” and “disciple”
- Why discipleship is lifelong, not momentary
- How to help others begin their spiritual walk
- Why growth leads to multiplication
- What Jesus meant when He said, “Follow Me”
This final day helps you see that the Christian life does not end with salvation — it begins there.
Taken Together, These Five Lessons Form a Foundation
By the end of this 5-day course, you will:
- Know how to feed your spirit every day
- Know how to pray in a living, relational way
- Know why the church is vital for your growth
- Know how to share your faith with others
- Know how discipleship becomes your lifestyle
This is how a believer moves from born again… to growing strong.
The Biblical Foundation for Spiritual Growth (Why These Five Steps Matter)
The five lessons in this course are not random or man-made ideas — they come directly from the pattern Scripture gives for how a believer grows in Christ. These are the very first things the earliest Christians devoted themselves to after salvation. In Acts 2:42 we read:
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and in the fellowship and in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers. (Acts 2:42, JEN)
This single verse gives us the biblical blueprint for the Christian life:
The apostles’ teaching → Personal Bible study and instruction
The fellowship → Belonging to the church
The prayers → Life of prayer and communion with God
Then, immediately after receiving this foundation, they were sent outward as witnesses (Acts 2:47 → Acts 3–5), and later were commanded to make disciples (Matthew 28:19–20).
SCRIPTURE shows the exact same 5-step order this course follows.
The Word of God
- You grow by hearing God speak through Scripture.
- As newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow. (1 Peter 2:2, JEN)
Prayer
- You grow by communing with God in prayer.
- Pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5:17, JEN)
Fellowship in the Church
- You grow by walking with God’s people.
- Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…
(Hebrews 10:25, JEN)
Witnessing Through the Holy Spirit
- You grow by sharing Christ.
- “You shall receive power… and you shall be My witnesses…” (Acts 1:8, JEN)
Discipleship
- You grow by following Christ and helping others grow.
- Go therefore and make disciples… teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:19–20, JEN)
THIS IS THE DIVINE ORDER
God designed growth in a sequence:
SPIRITUAL LIFE | → | SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE | → | SPIRITUAL FRUIT |
Saved | → | Fed by the Word | → | Wisdom & stability |
Adopted | → | Prayer & dependence | → | Peace & strength |
Placed into body | → | Fellowship & shepherding | → | Maturity |
Filled by the Spirit | → | Witness & obedience | → | Boldness |
Called a disciple | → | Trained to walk in Christ | → | Fruitfulness |
Everything Jesus intends for your life begins with rooting in these core disciplines.
They are not extra — they are the foundation of Christian growth.
They are not advanced — they are the starting point of discipleship.
Many never become strong Christians not because they lack passion — but because they never lay this foundation. That is why this 5-day course matters so deeply: it gives you the exact biblical structure Christ Himself established.
What Happens When a Believer Never Learns These Basics (The Risk of Spiritual Immaturity)
God intends for every believer to grow — but when a believer does not learn the foundational disciplines of the Christian life, several consequences begin to quietly unfold. These do not usually happen all at once — they happen gradually, almost unnoticed… until the believer feels spiritually dry, unstable, or distant from God.
Let us look gently but honestly at what Scripture says happens when growth is neglected.
The believer remains spiritually weak
Without nourishment from the Word, a Christian does not gain strength. They may have salvation, but not stability.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:6, JEN)
A starving Christian cannot fight temptation or deception effectively. They remain spiritually fragile.
Prayer becomes inconsistent and powerless
Without learning how to pray biblically, prayer becomes:
- sporadic,
- emotion-based,
- crisis-driven,
- easily abandoned.
Instead of communion with God, prayer becomes a last resort rather than a daily lifeline.
Jesus said:
Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation (Matthew 26:41, JEN)
Prayerlessness always precedes spiritual stumbling.
Disconnection from the church leads to isolation
When believers are not taught why the church matters, they often drift toward independence. They “attend” occasionally, but never belong, never become rooted, never become shepherded, never live in accountability — and slowly, their spiritual flame cools.
He who separates himself seeks his own desire. (Proverbs 18:1, JEN)
Isolation is where the enemy gains most of his advantage.
Witnessing never develops
A believer who is not rooted inwardly never grows outwardly. Without learning to witness, their faith remains private when God designed it to be public.
They remain silent — not because they don’t love Christ — but because they were never trained.
But Scripture says:
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so. (Psalm 107:2, JEN)
The Christian life is meant to overflow.
Discipleship never begins — and maturity stalls
Some Christians have been saved for ten years but have grown only one year, repeated ten times. Time passed, but growth did not.
Why?
Because no foundation was ever laid.
Paul confronted this same issue in the early church:
By this time you ought to be teachers, but you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God… you have come to need milk and not solid food. (Hebrews 5:12, JEN)
They remained spiritual infants — not because they refused Christ, but because they never learned the first principles.
What Does the Enemy Want?
The enemy does not fear:
- a believer who is saved but stagnant,
- forgiven but fruitless,
- sincere but untrained,
- living, but not growing.
He fears the believer who is rooted, built up, connected, led, and active in Christ’s mission.
That believer is dangerous to the kingdom of darkness.
This Course Is Designed to Prevent That Outcome
The reason this 5-day course exists is not merely to inform — but to establish, stabilize, and strengthen new believers so that they begin their Christian life on the narrow road of growth instead of on the path of drift.
This is the doorway to becoming spiritually strong.
The Joy and Strength That Come From Walking With Christ Daily
The Christian life is not merely a life of duty — it is a life of delight. When a believer begins to walk with Christ in the way God designed — through His Word, through prayer, in fellowship, through witness, and in discipleship — something beautiful begins to happen inside of them:
They discover joy.
They discover peace.
They discover strength.
They discover purpose.
The Christian life becomes alive, not mechanical… a walk with a Person, not a performance of habits.
Walking With Christ Brings Stability
Instead of being spiritually up and down, swayed by emotion or circumstances, the believer becomes rooted, anchored in truth and steadied by the presence of Christ.
He shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. (Psalm 1:3, JEN)
A planted life becomes a fruitful life.
Walking With Christ Brings Peace
There is a kind of peace that does not depend on circumstances — a peace the world cannot give and cannot take away.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, JEN)
This peace is learned in relationship — it comes from knowing Christ more deeply.
Walking With Christ Brings Spiritual Confidence
You stop feeling unsure, doubting, or spiritually unstable. Confidence is not arrogance — it comes from assurance, from knowing you are walking in the will of God.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack. (Psalm 23:1, JEN)
When you walk with the Shepherd, you stop living in fear.
Walking With Christ Brings Growth
You begin to see change:
- Your desires shift
- Your thinking becomes clearer
- Your heart becomes softer toward God
- Temptation loses some of its grip
- Righteousness becomes more natural
- You begin to want holiness, not just avoid sin
This is the Spirit at work in you — maturing you from the inside out.
Walking With Christ Brings Purpose
Your life no longer feels random or uncertain. You begin to see yourself the way Scripture describes you:
- A child of God
- A disciple of Christ
- A light in the world
- A witness to the truth
- A vessel of His grace
- An instrument in His hands
And purpose brings joy — because you finally realize you were saved for something.
The Christian Life Blossoms When the Foundation Is Laid
When you build your walk with Christ the way He designed it…
✔️ You stop coasting
✔️ You start growing
✔️ You stop wandering
✔️ You start walking
✔️ You stop guessing
✔️ You start knowing
✔️ You stop surviving
✔️ You start flourishing
That is why these five lessons are not just information — they are the framework that unlocks every other part of your Christian life.

You will come out of Day 5 saying,
I want to follow Jesus not just today — but for the rest of my life.
In Just Five Days…
This course will take you from:
From… | To… |
Unsure where to start | Rooted in your first steps |
Spiritually newborn | Spiritually growing |
Attending loosely | Belonging deeply |
Silent faith | Confident witness |
Saved only | Walking as a disciple |
This is why thousands of believers over the centuries have grown strong through the same biblical pattern — not because of emotion, but because of foundation.
A Pastoral Appeal to Begin Your Growth Journey
My friend, if you are reading this, it is not by accident.
God has begun a good work in you — and now He is calling you to continue in that work, to grow into the believer He intends you to become.
There is a reason you feel drawn toward learning more.
There is a reason you hunger to grow.
There is a reason you know there is more ahead in your walk with God.
That desire was placed in you by the Holy Spirit.
The Christian life is not meant to be lived in uncertainty. It is meant to be lived with clarity, direction, and confidence in the God who saved you.
But that confidence grows only when you are rooted.
This course is not about religious activity. It is about spiritual formation.
It is about:
- learning to hear your Shepherd’s voice,
- building a life of prayer and communion with God,
- discovering the beauty of belonging to His people,
- learning to share Christ with others,
- and stepping into true discipleship — not just belief.
This is the point in your journey where you decide:
“Will I simply remain saved — or will I now begin to grow?”
Spiritual growth is a choice — a turning of the heart that says, Lord, I want to walk with You.
Why Begin Now?
Because early habits become lifelong direction.
The first steps determine the path.
Think of a tree:
If it is planted well when young, its roots go deep — and nothing can uproot it later.
But if it is weakly planted, shallowly rooted, and neglected in its early growth, it can be easily bent, twisted, and broken.
Your rooting in Christ happens now — at the beginning.
That is why Paul said:
As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him…
(Colossians 2:6–7, JEN)
You have received Christ — now you must walk in Him.
This is your invitation
Not to more information —but to transformation.
Not to religion — but to relationship.
Not to attendance — but to belonging.
Not to drifting — but to discipleship.
This is your moment — right here — to say:
Lord, I am ready to grow.

A Pastoral Close & Encouragement
Before you go, I want to speak to your heart one more time.
The moment you were saved, heaven rejoiced — and now your journey with Christ truly begins. God did not save you so you would wander, guessing your way forward. He saved you so you would walk with Him, learn from Him, and grow into the fullness of what He intends for your life.
But growth does not happen by accident. It happens by direction, discipleship, and devotion.
This is why the Lord is drawing you now — not simply to believe in Him, but to begin following after Him.
If you feel Him tugging at your heart right now,
that is His invitation:
Follow Me.
Not later.
Not someday.
Not when life slows down.
Now.
At the beginning — while your heart is still tender, still hungry, still listening.
This course is simply a tool — a guided hand to help you take the first steps of discipleship with clarity, assurance, and purpose.
Your part is simple:
Say yes.
Take the first step.
Begin.
A Final Encouragement:
- You do not need to know everything to start growing.
- You just need to begin with the right foundation.
- God meets you as you step forward.
He does not expect perfection — He expects willingness.
And if you are willing, then Christ Himself will direct your growth.
One Last Invitation:
If your heart is saying,
Yes, Lord — I want to grow,
then I invite you to enroll now.
This is more than a course — this is the beginning of your walk into spiritual maturity.
