If you have prayed the sinners prayer, confessed your sinfulness, and taken Jesus Christ, as your Saviour, and Lord, you are a child of God.

Then remember The Apostle Paul's words...

[25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.

You need the encouragement of others, and others need the encouragement that you can give.
