Welcome to New Life University
There are many Christian principles that can make your life better. As a matter of fact many of today’s self help ideas come from the Bible. To truly live the life, a transformed life, you need to work the program. Just as AA has twelve steps there living your new life as a child of God has steps too but only four steps.
- Acknowledge you fall short, you’ve sinned
- Acknowledge you can’t do it alone, you need Jesus’ help
- Ask Jesus for forgiveness
- Ask him into your life so you can live a repentant life
Step four is where people get tripped up and where others cry “hypocrite”. You can be a Christian and go to heaven on steps 1-3 but to experience the benefits and wonders of a life with Christ you need to practice step 4 – everyday for the rest of your life. This is where so many get fail because they don’t want to put the work or time into learning how to live their “new life”. They want the good life but not what it takes to get there. They never enjoy the life Jesus died to give them. New life University will give you the tools and guidance to live that life in easy to understand small chunks.
Many make a big deal out of steps 1-3 saying the “sinners prayer” and it is important, you can’t get to four unless you go thru 1-3; however, far too many new Christians are left hanging and left to face the hard questions on their own.
The day to day transformation into a child of God who actually resembles a child of god – free of anxiety, insecurity, fear, doubt, depression, addictions, etc. In its place you get Jesus’ glory, joy, peace and the Holy Spirit.

Good luck with New Life University!
Thanks, it’s quite the undertaking. I probably wont post again to until late summer, still backed in work. I hope to finish 101 by the end of the year
I really like the organization and content. Good for you, Ana 🙂
Thank you, is there anything you’d like to add, anything you’d like me to cover that I didn’t put on the list?
Let me take another look. At first glance I remember thinking it was very thorough and I could tell you’ve spent much time living and pondering it. …. At a second look it still looks just great ❤ You were very kind to ask for my feedback 🙂
thanks, if anything comes to mind later just let me know.
Will do!
Love!!!
I’ve been a little overwhelmed this year with unexpected work projects, I had the intentions of doing one each month, I hope to add more by the end of the year. Thanks for checking it out
I know it is hard to do everything. I want to post on my blog daily, but often get to it only about once a week.
Yes, this has been quite the learning experience. I found that extensive planning and a calendar help a great deal. I’d be glad to share what I’ve done in an email, too much for text
If you have the chance. Email is busybuglivn@hot mail.com. Thanks. Love to read it.
Monday is a big work day, i’ll get on it tomorrow
