How do I begin following Jesus?
You can work through these items right now or ask someone who is a Christian or a pastor to help you think through them if you have questions.
Confess. Confess that you have sinned and are a sinner.
Believe. Believe that there is a God, and that God’s son, Jesus, died and came back to life to get rid of your sin.
Receive. Receive God’s healing and forgiveness as you accept Jesus’ healing love in your life.
Live. Try to live in line with Jesus’ teachings as expressed in God’s word, the Bible, particularly the New Testament.
Seek. See the guidance of God’s Holy
Spirit and the community of believers (the church) to understand the
Bible and how to live the Christian life.
You can pray the above as a prayer putting the above in “I” language:
I confess that I have sinned.
I believe there is a God. I believe
that God’s son, Jesus, died and came back to life to get rid of my sin. I
can live now and in the future in peace with God.
I receive God’s healing and forgiveness through Jesus.
I will try to live in line with God’s word.
I will seek the guidance of God’s
Holy Spirit and the community of believers (the church) to understand
the Bible. I want to live the kind of life of love Jesus would have me
to live.
Amen.
