INTRODUCTION
Starting Up Your NEW LIFE WITH JESUS
CONGRATULATIONS! You have just started a fresh
relationship with Jesus. A friend saw your need and connected
you to the Solution – God.
You accepted the gift of eternal life by faith in Christ. This
series of lessons will help you understand more of who Jesus
is and the spiritual riches and wonderful life He has in store
for you.
But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us. Therefore, since we have now been
justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from
wrath through Him! 1For if, when we were enemies of God, we
were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how
much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved
through His life!” Romans 5:8-10
“…my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many
for the remission of sins” (Matthew 26:27-29)
Jesus’ blood gives us NEW LIFE. This newness of life and fresh
beginnings isn’t anything we can muster up on our own.
Christ is our only hope of new life! And He sacrificed His very
life for us to have that New Life in JESUS.

I. SALVATION (CHANGE OF DESTINY)
Leading Questions:
1. What good news you want to hear these days? Or
what gift you want to receive any day now?
2. Is there something or a problem you wanna be
saved from?
3. What about starting a new life by being certain of
your destiny?
The gospel is the Good News, the message of
salvation!
It is the greatest manifestation of God's love to
humanity. It is the saving act of grace by God that
brought freedom to man through the power of the
blood of the Lord Jesus on the cross.
Why do we need to get saved?
Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord.” We all receive wages on how we live our lives,
because we get what we deserve. Everyone falls short
of the glory of God (Romans 3:23); no one is righteous,
not even one (Romans 3:10). For this reason, we all
deserve death — not just physical death but
separation from God. But because God loves us, He
gave us a gift. This gift is something we do not deserve
but is given out of His unconditional love for us. We
did not and cannot earn it. This gift is eternal life,

III. LORDSHIP (CHANGE OF RELATIONSHIP)
Leading Questions:
1. Who is Jesus to you?
2. What is your relationship status with Jesus
3.What area of life do you need to surrender to
Jesus?
“Lord...You havé the words of etemal life, and we
have believed, and have come to know, that you are
the Holy One of God.” (John 6:68-69) (Share a brief
background of this verse)
Peter had a revelation that Jesus is not just an
ordinary man, but is the Messiah, the Savior of the
World.
What does the Lordship of Christ really mean? .
Lordship means bringing back “order”
in our relationship with God. It means
acknowledging that He is the “Lord” over our lives,
because apart from Him we can do nothing.
We believe He is sovereign (allows
everything to happen) supreme (the highest,
ultimate and final authority in our life) and
supernatural (all powerful) God (Isaiah 40:28)
who created us and is the King over our lives.
11
Making Jesus the Lord of our Lives
Lordship helps us renew our mindset to see that
Christ is at work in us, in others, and in the world.
Jesus Christ is greater than everything! His Name,
His role, His plan, and His purpose is above all else.
Lordship and holy living is not forced upon us. We
are not adhering to a religion, but a relationship with
our Lord! Holy living comes from a life that is
transformed and renewed by what Christ has done for
us. We mature in the faith by knowing, trusting, and
obeying Christ as LORD, realizing who He is and what
He has done for us and then responding in kind by
our gratitude, trust, and obedience.
By honoring His Lordship we can better take hold
of the power to live for Him victoriously and with
excellence. We participate as sons, children of . God,
as we are conformed to the likeness of Christ. We have
God living in us, guiding, leading, motivating, and
filling us. Imagine what He can do in -you and in your
church. If we truly trust in Christ, not just as Savior
but also as LORD, we are given the power and ability
to live a life of fullness, distinction of character, and
spiritual maturity so He is glorified in our lives!
Our response to Lordship is, Yes, Lord! This is our
affirmation of devotion, trust, and obedience. He

PRAYER
"Thank You for forgiving my sins and for setting
the perfect example of forgiveness and love when you
were crucified at the cross. l ask for the strength and
the mercy to forgive people who hurt me. l let go of the
bitterness, hatred, resentment, and strife and l allow
Your love and compassion to fill my heart. In Jesus’
name. Amen.

3. SUNDAY LIFE GROUP CELEBRATION. There
are two types of meetings: aside from the life
group, there are also large meetings where we
can worship as one spiritual family and receive
God’s Word. LIFE Group celebration is the large
gathering where all life groups meet. Read Acts
2:42-47.
4. PEPSOL/LIFE CLASS EQUIPPING AND
TRAINING. You will also need to be equipped to
do things that God has entrusted to you.
PEPSOL (Pre-Encounter, Encounter, Post-
Encounter and School of Leaders) training can
be your source of development and growth,
where you will learn to unleash the potential
God has placed in you to create positive impact
in the lives of others. “And the things you have
heard me say in the presence of many witnesses
entrust to reliable people who will also be
qualified to teach others.” (2 Timothy 2:2)
In your trainings, be excited to be entrusted with
truths that God would want you to hear, claim, and
apply in your life.
22
PERSONAL APPLICATION
Have a “lifestyle check”, and be determined to
align your lifestyle to the purpose and plan of God.
Identify which of these you would need to include or
commit more in your lifestyle to continue growing in
your walk with God.
PRAYER
Thank You Father for calling me to walk in
relationship with You and Your -people. Give me
wisdom to nurture and guard my relationship with
You and with my spiritual family. Help me to engage
and commit to a daily; personal time of devotion,
gospel community (life group), Sunday LG Celebration
and training in becoming the person You want me to
be. In Jesus’ name. 'Amen
23
The Purpose of Devotions. We do our devotions in
order to have intimate relationship with God. The
Father desires our daily worship, and He is delighted
when we spend time meditating on His Word. God
wants us to know Him better. As we come to know
Him in these life lessons, it will better equip and
enable us to become more like Him.
a. RHEMA - this is the specific Word that God has for
you for that moment. It is the verse/s from the
chapter you are reading that has touched your heart,
or the verse that is so timely needed by you, or a truth
that is so fresh and new to you. Write the verse/s in
your journal notebook
b. REFLECTION - you can dig deeper on God's
Rhema Word for you, relating it to your situations or
circumstances. These are your thoughts or truths you
discover about the specific rhema word that has
much relevance in your life, or your present situation
c. MOTIVATION - the Word of God is full of
motivations and promises that you can claim. Based
on your reflections;
1. What are the things you desire to do, or willing to
do for God, for others and for yourself?
2. What are the specific promises you want to claim
for yourself, for others?
d. APPLICATION - devotion is not a devotion without
application. Make sure you will be doing something
after you have received a Word from God. You can also
make a list of prayer requests.
Share your own devotional experience using the
structure given.
26
PERSONAL APPLICATION
Be a lover of the Word of God and make it the final
authority of your life. Pray about your day and your
life goals in order for you to know what God wants you
to do. Make it a goal to do your devotions consistently
this week. Come up with a list of your prayer requests
and incline to the Word of God for direction.
PRAYER
Lord, thank You for giving me your Word to guide
me every day and to nurture my being. I delight in
Your ways; help me to live out Your word as the final
authority of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
27
VII. YOUR ACTIVE LIFE OF PRAYER
LEADING QUESTIONS:
1. How important is prayer to you
2.What motivates you to pray
3.Who are you praying for?
Prayer is communication and communion with
God. It is the closest, most intimate moment with the
Creator you can have. In prayer, the depths of your
spirit are in communion with the depths of the Spirit
of God. Out of this can come instruction,
guidance, or a burden to pray for certain things.
God’s instructions are clear as to how to pray, who to
pray for, when to pray, where to pray, and what you
should pray for. The Bible gives specific direction for
all those things and more. God created man to be in
fellowship with Him and daily prayer is important to
that relationship. Pray to the Father (Luke 11:2) in the
name of Jesus Christ (John 14: 13-14) through the
power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 6:18).
I. HOW TO PRAY: Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be
given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it
will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks
receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who
knocks it will be opened.
28
“If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
you may ask for anything you want, and it will be
granted!” (John 15:7).
A.To pray is to really PRAY. It means to:
1.Ask, seek, knock,
2. Hold on to Jesus and His Word
B. Pray continually (Romans 12:12; 1Thessalonians
5:17).“We always pray for you, and we give thanks to
God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Colossians
1:3).
PUSH- Pray Until Something Happens
II. WHO TO PRAY FOR:
a. All People- “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all
people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their
behalf, and give thanks for them.” (|Timothy 2:1).
b. Your enemies “I say, love your enemies! Pray for
those who persecute you!” Matthew 5:44
Pray in FAITH (Mark 11:24; Hebrews 10:22)
Pray with FORGIVING SPIRIT with a forgiving spirit
(Mark 11:25)
Pray with PERSEVERANCE (Luke 11:8; 18:1-7)
Pray in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Psalm 34:15; John 15:7)
29
OBEDIENCE to God Destroys the flesh: Choosing
wisely as you learn to obey Christ
Our life revolves around obedience and
disobedience. Any form of disobedience should be
overcome by the great strength of our obedience to the
Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit. As we obey
God, we are able to live a life worthy of His calling and
receive His promises for us.
2. We Must Be Obedient to the Voice of the Holy
Spirit
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will
hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the
rebellion.” (Hebrews 3:7)
3. There Must Be “Willingness” to Obey
" If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good
of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be
devoured by the sword"; for the mouth of the LORD
has spoken.” (Isaiah 1:19-20)
PERSONAL APPLICATION
Obey and submit to God's Word through your
leaders’ corrections, instructions, and guidelines
because they are God's appointed authorities over
you. Respect and listen to your parents and
teachers/boss as they tell you things you need to
improve.
PRAYER
I surrender my life to You, Lord, and I
acknowledge Your Word as the final authority in my
life. Give me the heart to submit to your plans and
obey my leaders at church, my parents,
teachers/boss and all in authority. In Jesus’ name.

X. WITNESSING - SHARING YOUR NEW LIFE
WITH OTHERS
Leading Questions:
1. What does it mean to be a witness?
2.What makes life meaningful to you?
3.Has Jesus changed your life so far? In what way?
“But how can they call on him to save them unless
they believe in him? And how can they believe in him
if they have never heard about him? And how can they
hear about him unless someone tells them?” (Romans
10:14)
Share your story. You remember what life was like
without Christ, and experiencing salvation from your
old life can fuel your desire to share to other people.
After building a connection with a person, pray for an
opportunity to share what Jesus has done in your life.
The best way to share to people is to tell your own
story of how Jesus moved and changed-your life.
Prepare a short version of your own faith story that
started from a bad and sad story to a life that Jesus
saved, leading to the Gospel story. Share how God has
re-written the story of your life that is now according
to His plan.
Ask for a decision and lead in prayer. As you share,
God will be working in the heart of the person. Feel
free to ask questions if the person understands and
if they would like to accept God's gift of salvation.
If they are ready for a decision, lead them in a prayer
of acceptance for what Jesus has done for them.
A sample prayer is: THE ABC OF PLACING ONES
FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
“Father in heaven, l acknowledge I am a sinner and I
cannot save myself. I believe that Jesus is the only
way by which I can be saved. His death on the cross
was the price for my sins. Thank You for Your love
sacrifice for me. I now confess with all my heart that
