Summary

Our journey with God begins when someone explains the gospel to us, how Jesus died for our sins and rose again to bring us new life. But then the question becomes, “Now what? What do I do next?” But that’s the wrong question. Pastor J.D. explains that true growth in the Christian life happens when you plunge deeper into the gospel. It doesn’t come from doing more good things. And that’s true whether you’ve been following Christ for several days or several decades.
