Introduction
A Biblical Guide to the Christian Life for New Christians
Welcome to every one of you, and thank you for your time to read this study about the Christian life. I thank God, who gives wisdom and capacity generously to all His servants for use in His service in the way He chooses. We must conform to His will and serve Him with the gifts He has given us.
What does God require of us? Deuteronomy 10:12 says,
And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Deuteronomy 6:7 reads,
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house.
We see in Micah 6:8 that God requires us to walk in His just statutes with love, mercy, and humility teaching our children to fear Him and to walk in Him.
Hebrews 11:6 says,
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
In 1 Samuel 15:22, we read,
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
If we obey God’s Word, we do better than by doing many works for Him. The religious leaders were very strict in their behavior and interpretation of the law, but we see in Matthew 23:23 that justice, mercy, and faith must be a major part of our lives.
We could consider several verses such as Matthew 6:33 and Romans 12:1–2, but for time considerations, you can focus on these verses while reading this study.

About the Book
When trying to find out more about someone, it is normal to ask, “Who is that person?” or “What’s he looking for?”
We can learn a lot about someone by considering his or her attributes and what he or she has done. We can do the same with God.
In this book, Guillermo MacKenzie examines various aspects of the Christian life from a Biblical point of view, with the hope of giving new Christians a clear look at what the Bible says about living for Christ. Get answers to questions such as:
• What does the concept of the trinity mean for Christians?
• What will be the fate of those who commit blasphemy?
• How can God judge the world?
• How does God relate to everything He created?
The author also focuses on the attributes of God, God’s infallible Word, salvation, baptism, stewardship, prayer, interpreting the Bible, identifying true Christians and false teachers, the Christian family, and the local Church.
Move closer to the Lord and gain a deeper understanding of the Bible with the lessons and insights in Biblical Help for the Christian Life.
