Spiritual Growth in New Believers

As new believers are discipled, we need to understand that there may be struggles in their new walk with Christ. What are some of these struggles? Some that we talked about are doubting of salvation, putting off old habits and putting on the new, understanding Scripture and the will of God, taking criticism from others, dealing with suffering and learning discernment. If you are a new believer, we want to encourage you to seek out another older believer to help you find from Scripture the answer to these struggles. If you are an older believer, please take advantage of opportunities to train new believers. Don't just assume that they will grow with out help. It is vital that new believers have someone to point them to Scripture as they grow! What do you think? Or what are some other areas where a new believer may struggle?
