To Him be all praise and honor, now and forever. Amen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"861\">This is the first in a series of teachings specifically prepared for those who have recently come to faith in Christ. If you are a new believer\u2014or if someone close to you has recently received Jesus as Lord and Savior\u2014these teachings will be of great value and encouragement to you.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"897\">What Does It Mean to Be Saved?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"1032\">When we talk about being <strong data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"936\">\u201csaved,\u201d<\/strong> we are referring to being <strong data-start=\"963\" data-end=\"977\">born again<\/strong>\u2014a spiritual rebirth that Jesus spoke of in John 3:3:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1033\" data-end=\"1131\">\n<p data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1131\"><em data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1125\">&#8220;Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.&#8221;<\/em> (ESV)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1133\" data-end=\"1181\">This new birth involves several essential steps:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1182\" data-end=\"1488\">\n<li data-start=\"1182\" data-end=\"1287\">\n<p data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1287\"><strong data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1206\">Genuine repentance<\/strong> from sin and a wholehearted turning away from the ways of the world (Acts 3:19).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1288\" data-end=\"1403\">\n<p data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1403\"><strong data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1314\">Baptism by immersion<\/strong> in water as a public testimony of faith and obedience to Christ (John 3:23; Romans 6:4).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1404\" data-end=\"1488\">\n<p data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1488\"><strong data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1435\">Receiving the Holy Spirit<\/strong> (Acts 2:38), who indwells and empowers the believer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1490\" data-end=\"1631\">When these foundational steps are followed, a person has indeed experienced spiritual rebirth. But that is only the beginning of the journey.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1633\" data-end=\"1676\">Salvation Is the Beginning, Not the End<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1678\" data-end=\"1929\">Unfortunately, many new believers assume that once they\u2019ve repented and been baptized, their spiritual growth is complete. They stop there, not realizing that being born again makes them spiritual infants\u2014alive, yes, but in need of nurture and growth.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1931\" data-end=\"2055\">You can be born again and still be spiritually <strong data-start=\"1978\" data-end=\"1990\">immature<\/strong>\u2014or worse, spiritually <strong data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2025\">lifeless<\/strong>, if you do not begin to grow.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2057\" data-end=\"2252\">Just as a newborn baby enters the world fragile and dependent, so it is with those newly born in Christ. And just like physical babies, spiritual infants must demonstrate two vital signs of life:<\/p>\n<ol data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2300\">\n<li data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2277\">\n<p data-start=\"2257\" data-end=\"2277\"><strong data-start=\"2257\" data-end=\"2275\">They must cry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2278\" data-end=\"2300\">\n<p data-start=\"2281\" data-end=\"2300\"><strong data-start=\"2281\" data-end=\"2300\">They must feed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-start=\"2302\" data-end=\"2332\">Let\u2019s explore these two signs.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2334\" data-end=\"2337\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2339\" data-end=\"2377\">1. <strong data-start=\"2346\" data-end=\"2377\">Cry: The First Sign of Life<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2379\" data-end=\"2635\">When a baby is born, it is common for the midwife or doctor to give the child a gentle stimulus so they let out a cry. That cry is crucial\u2014it is evidence that the baby is alive and breathing. A silent baby is a concern; a crying baby is a sign of vitality.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2637\" data-end=\"2919\">The same is true spiritually. When someone is truly born again, there is an <strong data-start=\"2713\" data-end=\"2727\">inward cry<\/strong> from the heart\u2014a longing for God, a hunger to understand, a desire to know the One who saved them. It may not be fully understood by the new believer, but mature Christians will recognize it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2921\" data-end=\"2945\">This &#8220;cry&#8221; manifests as:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2946\" data-end=\"3116\">\n<li data-start=\"2946\" data-end=\"2978\">\n<p data-start=\"2948\" data-end=\"2978\">An eagerness to attend church.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2979\" data-end=\"3025\">\n<p data-start=\"2981\" data-end=\"3025\">A restlessness until one learns how to pray.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3026\" data-end=\"3061\">\n<p data-start=\"3028\" data-end=\"3061\">A burden to understand the Bible.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3062\" data-end=\"3116\">\n<p data-start=\"3064\" data-end=\"3116\">A deep desire for fellowship and spiritual guidance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3118\" data-end=\"3247\">As spiritual mothers and fathers in the faith, we must recognize this cry and respond, just as a mother does to her crying child.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3249\" data-end=\"3300\">2. <strong data-start=\"3256\" data-end=\"3300\">Feed: The Need for Spiritual Nourishment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3302\" data-end=\"3601\">After the cry comes the feeding. A newborn instinctively knows how to suckle when brought to the mother\u2019s breast. No one teaches the baby how to do it\u2014it\u2019s natural. Likewise, the new believer has a natural need to feed on <strong data-start=\"3524\" data-end=\"3543\">the Word of God<\/strong>, which is referred to in Scripture as <strong data-start=\"3582\" data-end=\"3600\">spiritual milk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"3603\" data-end=\"3730\">\n<p data-start=\"3605\" data-end=\"3730\"><em data-start=\"3605\" data-end=\"3707\">\u201cLike newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation.\u201d<\/em><br data-start=\"3707\" data-end=\"3710\" \/>\u20141 Peter 2:2 (ESV)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"3732\" data-end=\"4027\">This feeding is essential. Without it, the believer cannot grow. A baby that doesn\u2019t feed will become weak and vulnerable. So it is in the spiritual realm. Believers who neglect God\u2019s Word and fellowship begin to regress, becoming easy targets for temptation, confusion, and spiritual deception.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4029\" data-end=\"4114\">Let\u2019s look at a biblical example of this principle in action\u2014the story of baby Moses.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"4116\" data-end=\"4119\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"4121\" data-end=\"4168\"><strong data-start=\"4125\" data-end=\"4168\">Biblical Illustration: The Cry of Moses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4170\" data-end=\"4472\">In <strong data-start=\"4173\" data-end=\"4187\">Exodus 2:6<\/strong>, we read about the birth of Moses and how he was hidden by his mother to protect him from Pharaoh\u2019s decree. When she could hide him no longer, she placed him in a basket and set him afloat on the Nile. Pharaoh\u2019s daughter discovered the basket and heard something that moved her heart:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"4474\" data-end=\"4638\">\n<p data-start=\"4476\" data-end=\"4638\"><em data-start=\"4476\" data-end=\"4616\">\u201cShe opened it and saw the child, and behold, the baby was crying. She took pity on him and said, \u2018This is one of the Hebrews\u2019 children.\u2019\u201d<\/em><br data-start=\"4616\" data-end=\"4619\" \/>\u2014Exodus 2:6 (ESV)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"4640\" data-end=\"4925\">The baby was <strong data-start=\"4653\" data-end=\"4663\">crying<\/strong>\u2014and that cry saved his life. It stirred compassion in Pharaoh\u2019s daughter, who then arranged for Moses&#8217; own mother to nurse him. This act of divine providence led to Moses being raised in Pharaoh\u2019s palace, and eventually, he became the great deliverer of Israel.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4927\" data-end=\"5074\">Had Moses remained silent, his life might have ended there. But because he cried, he was <strong data-start=\"5016\" data-end=\"5023\">fed<\/strong>, nurtured, and prepared for God\u2019s greater purpose.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"5076\" data-end=\"5079\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"5081\" data-end=\"5122\">A Word of Caution to the New Believer<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5124\" data-end=\"5347\">If you claim to be born again, but you show <strong data-start=\"5168\" data-end=\"5204\">no interest in the things of God<\/strong>, no desire for prayer, no hunger for the Word, and no longing for fellowship with believers\u2014you may be spiritually dead or dangerously asleep.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5349\" data-end=\"5571\">Avoid isolation. Don\u2019t disappear from your spiritual leaders or church family. Don\u2019t let days or weeks pass without seeking spiritual nourishment or sharing your spiritual journey. <strong data-start=\"5530\" data-end=\"5550\">Resist passivity<\/strong> with all your might.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5573\" data-end=\"5846\">You are a <strong data-start=\"5583\" data-end=\"5599\">new creation<\/strong> (2 Corinthians 5:17)\u2014begin to act like it. <strong data-start=\"5643\" data-end=\"5681\">Crave the pure milk of God\u2019s Word.<\/strong> Don\u2019t wait for others to chase after you. Just as no one teaches a baby to cry or feed, your spiritual instincts should lead you to seek out nourishment and growth.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"5848\" data-end=\"5961\">\n<p data-start=\"5850\" data-end=\"5961\"><em data-start=\"5850\" data-end=\"5936\">\u201cLet the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.\u201d<\/em><br data-start=\"5936\" data-end=\"5939\" \/>\u2014Galatians 6:6 (ESV)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr data-start=\"5963\" data-end=\"5966\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"5968\" data-end=\"5991\">Final Encouragement<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5993\" data-end=\"6232\">So, dear new believer, remember these two vital signs of spiritual life: <strong data-start=\"6066\" data-end=\"6073\">Cry<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"6078\" data-end=\"6086\">Feed<\/strong>.
