 I wish I had known these four things when I first became a Christian. Number one, you'll still be tempted. But James 4-7 says this, submit yourself to God, therefore, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Number two, your emotions won't always line up with reality. Just because he feels far away doesn't mean that that's true. I need to hold strong to his promises despite how I feel. Number three, that it's not just about deciding to follow Jesus once, but daily. And Jesus said, if anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me. And number four, it's not on us to try to stay saved by following Jesus perfectly because we can't. We are saved by his grace, not our ability to be a perfect disciple. What are some things that you wish you knew when you first became a Christian?
