If you’ve become a Christian recently or if you want to go back to the ABC’s of the Christian faith, here's help - the digital version of the 'First Steps' devotional from Our Daily Bread!
Discover or revisit the fundamentals! These brief studies and relatable explanations will help you (or perhaps your whole Bible study group) draw closer to God as you dig deeper into His Word! Explore questions like who Jesus is, how we can be certain that we’re right with God, what does the trinity mean, who is the Holy Spirit, how to read the Bible, what the future looks like and many more fundamental concepts about our faith. Use this resource to help you embark on a deeper understanding of God and a closer walk with Him.
What did Jesus say about heaven? How can you know that you will go to heaven when you die?
Jesus said that God is greater than all. What assurance does this give you?
He treats us as if we had never broken His law, reconciling us to Himself and adopting us into His family.
The more clearly we see and appreciate the unique role each Person of the Godhead has in our salvation, the more intimate will be our daily walk with Him.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
Though Jesus is invisible to our eyes, the Holy Spirit is with us every day, just as Jesus walked with His disciples on earth.
In Ephesians 1:13-14, we are told that the Holy Spirit is given to believers as an arrabon, a down payment, a guarantee of heaven.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. - 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Jesus taught, “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).
Do you take time to read God’s Word and pray? Try it in the morning. It can transform your day.
How do you “hide God’s Word in your heart”? What does the psalmist mean when he says, “I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways”?
If the seed of the Word is planted in the good soil of a receptive heart, it will grow until the character of Jesus is seen.
Measurements can be indicators of growth. And it’s a good idea to measure our spiritual growth.
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Time spent with the Lord is time well spent.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1:9
When you sin, don’t compound it with another sin. Take it immediately to the Lord in prayerful confession. The most important thing is what you do next!
What one thing can you do to enhance your relationship with God? The more time you spend with Him, the more you will become like Him.
It is easier to resist the first evil desire than to satisfy all the ones that follow.
What can be the equivalent of foot washing today? In what other ways can you imitate Christ to do as He has done?
Someone promises to do an important task for us but never follows through. We ask ourselves, “A faithful man who can find?” (Proverbs 20:6).
Only Jesus’ words are divine. His life was the only perfect one. Only Jesus’ death and resurrection provide life everlasting.
Who would you hold most responsible for Jesus’ death—the religious leaders, Pilate, the crowd, Barabbas, the soldiers, or you? Why?
As the Lord Jesus hung on the cross, two criminals were crucified next to Him. One of those men is now in the place of the lost. The other is with Christ. Their contrasting attitudes toward the Man on the center cross made all the difference.
But God raised [Jesus] from the dead, freeing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on Him. - Acts 2:24
Without the resurrection, Christianity has nothing much to offer the world.But the fact that Christ died and then rose from the grave “is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes”
Just as physical food keeps us alive and strong, so also the spiritual nourishment of teaching and fellowship are necessary for our survival.

A neighbor is not only someone who lives near us or works next to us, but anyone we meet on life’s journey—especially those in need.
Have you trusted in Jesus as your Savior? What evidence is there in your life that you love God? How are you showing God’s love to others?
