Please read 1 Thessalonians 3.

Meditate on verse 8.
For now we really live, if you stand firm in the LORD.
It was a big deal to Paul for those he led to Christ to stand firm in Christ. In order for new believers to be firm in the LORD, they must be taught how to walk with Him. As you share the Gospel with others, give them the tools to walk with Jesus. Learning how to pray, read the Bible, and be part of a church are vital to standing firm in Christ. That is why Paul not only shared the Gospel with people, but his life also, so they could see and learn by example what it means to be a Christian (1 Thessalonians 2:8).
Ask God to make you a great sharer of the Gospel and a great shepherd of those you lead to Christ. You will really live, when you know that those you love are standing firm in Jesus (v. 8).
Pray 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, please cause __________ and me to increase
and abound in love for one another and for all people.
Establish our hearts without blame in holiness
before You, our God and Father, at the coming
of our LORD Jesus with all His saints.
In Your name, Jesus~”
We have written a workbook called 50 Steps With Jesus: Learning to Walk Daily With the Lord. You can learn more about it at: www.Godsgreatergrace.com
You even have permission to make all the copies you need to teach new believers how to walk with Jesus.
