Incorporating new Christians into community is important but not necessarily easy. First, our own growth in the gospel is essential, because it ensures that people are settling into a growing community. We also need to emphasize our relationship with new believers instead of focusing more on the meeting. This often means we must bring the community to the person we are hoping to incorporate. Along the way, we must recognize Satan's attempts to thwart our efforts and fight to ensure the believer is exposed to the Word and growing in their own personal learning about God. Finally, we must keep in mind that we are only assisting God in his moves to incorporate believers into the body of Christ.
