I want to encourage you as a new disciple to cherish these early days,savour in them as you grow and mature in your walk with God. This will be a time that will go with you through your whole life. Here are a few basic scriptures that will help you on your way as you get into the study and learning of God's Word. 2 Timothy 2:15-16, 3:16-17, and 2 Peter 1:20-21. These are bedrock scriptures that will hold great importance in your study of His Word.
