Self Check for Follow Up

I haven’t thought too much about follow-up before, but now I see that it is important.
• Do I sincerely desire to follow Christ myself and to mature in him?
• What Scripture passages convince me of the importance of helping others grow
spiritually?
I know follow-up is important, but I’m not in contact with anyone who needs my help.
• Is there an evangelism or follow-up program at my church in which I could become
involved?
• Am I sharing my belief in Christ with the non-Christians I know?
• If someone I have shared my faith with becomes a Christian, am I willing to spend time
in helping him grow spiritually?
There is someone I want to help grow, but I’m not sure what to do at this point.
• Is he truly assured of his salvation in Christ,
• Is he reading the Bible regularly?
• How can I help him memorize and meditate on Scripture?
• Can he use my help in learning how to share his faith with others?
• Have we prayed together?
• Can I help him in appropriating God’s power to overcome sin in his life?
• Can I help him understand God’s forgiveness?
• Is he trusting God in areas of life that cause anxiety?
I am already involved in follow-up.
• Am I convinced God himself is the true source of spiritual growth in the person I am
helping, and not my methods or my advice? Do my prayers reflect this belief?
• Am I encouraging the person I am helping to benefit fully from fellowship with other
Christians—and not just with me?
• How much one-to-one attention am I giving to the person I am helping? Is it enough?
• Do I have an attitude of transparency toward the person I am helping? Am I opening my
life to his observation?
