First, congratulations! Deciding to follow Jesus is the most important decision you’ll ever make. You may have questions about what this means, and that’s okay! Following Jesus isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about taking a step of faith.

Here’s how to begin:

Following Jesus means saying yes to His invitation to a new life.

📖 “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17

Here’s what that means:

✔ You are forgiven – Jesus paid for your sins on the cross so you could be made right with God.

✔ You have a new identity – You’re now a child of God, and nothing can separate you from His love.

✔ You have a purpose – Jesus invites you to follow Him, grow in faith, and make a difference.

Prayer is just talking with God. You don’t have to use fancy words—just be real. Here’s a simple way to start:

🙏 A Simple Prayer

"Jesus, thank you for loving me. I believe You died for my sins and rose again to give me new life. I trust You with my life. Help me to follow You every day. Amen."

You don’t have to earn God’s love or prove yourself—He already loves you. Just start talking to Him like a friend.

The Bible is God’s way of speaking to us and showing us how to live. Start by reading about Jesus' life in:

📖 The Book of John (In the New Testament) – It’s all about Jesus, His love for you, and what it means to follow Him.

Baptism isn’t just something we do—it’s something God does for us. In baptism, God claims us as His own, forgives our sins, and gives us new life in Christ.

📖 “He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” – Titus 3:5

💧 What is Baptism?

• God’s promise to you – Baptism is a gift from God, not something we earn.
• A means of grace – Through water and the Word, God forgives sin and makes us His own.
• For all ages – Baptism is for children and adults alike because salvation is God’s work, not ours.
