SUMMARY:
We do not have to be uncertain about how to live godly lives because our Father provided direction in His Word.

After salvation, many Christians sincerely intend to live godly lives, but before long, something unexpected happens.  Perhaps discouragement, personal problems, or old habits harass them or lead them astray.  This problem is not unique to new believers.  Some people attend church for decades and still wonder why they aren't growing spiritually or bearing fruit.
