Hey everyone and welcome to Refinery Life Australia.

“The Christ of John’s Gospel” has been our theme for the past couple of months teachings with a focus on John’s unique portrayal of the Christ.

Today we are talking about Becoming a Christian.

Do you desire to be a better Christian?

Most Christians sincerely want to be better.

But how do we become a better Christian?

Some people say that reading the Bible or other Christian books will make you a good Christian.

Other people say that doing a lot of good works will make you a better Christian.

Actually, we don’t begin the Christian life in faith and continue it ,]merely through faithful study and good works.

Genuine faith results in faithful study and good works.

Jesus used the illustration of the vine and the branches to describe the Christian life.

Jesus referred to Himself and the Vine and to His followers as the branches.

Using this analogy, we can learn more about the Christian life.

God wants to enter your life and abide within you through the person of the Holy Spirit.

If you allow Him, He will abide in your heart and make your life meaningful.

Until next time

Stay in the Blessings

I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.

When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.

Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!

You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at The Refinery.

When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.

So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you! Or even if you just want to say Hi, you can contact us at www.refinerylife.org

Welcome to The Refinery.The helmet of salvation. To go onto maturity in the character of the Lord and move forward into the destiny God has prepared for you we need to wear spiritual armor, the helmet of salvation is one of these items. The head is very vulnerable in the natural and it is the same in the spiritual context. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 6 about the armour of God, there is a helmet – the helmet of salvation. This helmet is a covering, and it provides protection for the mind. Ps Amanda wants to encourage you to put the helmet on.Until next time
