When you become a believer, it is up to you to develop and nurture your relationship with Christ, by growing in prayer and study of His Word, interacting with other believers, and walking in faith as you trust Him with each day of your life.

We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. Romans 12:6-8
