Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

I ended my posts on WWW with the question “do I need to know all this to be saved?” The answer is a resounding no. So why do I need all the details of so many names, characters, places, histories and events within my bible studies? Why can’t I just read the New Testament and be done with it?

The New Testament is more than just personal salvation. It is more than service to a God we can never thank enough. It is more than evangelizing and spreading the gospel. It is a deeply personal intimate relationship with our God and in doing so, we ought to love what He loves.

Ephesians 1:4-6 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

We are accepted into the body of Christ, His betrothed, the Bride. As such, being accepted, we should be mindful of this new family and its members. As newborns we are encouraged to grow. We have others to show us love, grace, mercy and instruction. As we grow and mature we in like kind turn to the novice and do for them as it was done for us.

You will find every type of novice within the bible. There is nothing new under the sun and to assist these newborns best it is easier to relate to their change of life if you understand the WWW of the bible. All that they have come out of into this new life is written there.

All newborns want to be understood.
