Let The Spirit Do His Work

When someone becomes a Christian, they often need guidance to understand how to live for Jesus. In the Bible, Paul spent time teaching and mentoring new believers, helping them grow in their faith. As Christians, we are called to do the same. However, we must also remember that it’s the Holy Spirit who does the work of transforming hearts.  

We must try not to overwhelm people with rules but point them to Christ and encourage them to grow in love, faith, and good works. We need to walk alongside them, teaching with patience and grace. Like Paul, we can share what we’ve learned about following Jesus, helping new believers build a strong foundation in their faith.  

At the same time, we have to give the Holy Spirit room to work. John 16:13 says the Spirit will guide believers into all truth. While we can teach and encourage, it’s God who changes hearts and convicts people of what they need to work on.
