Next Steps for New Believers

Inviting Jesus into your life is the most important decision you will ever make. Receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord brings immediate benefits and changes.

The Bible promises,“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5:17, NLT)

You are now a new person in Christ! Jesus wants you to become aware of all the resources He has already made available to you so you can achieve your true potential.

So What’s Next?

1. Discover your new resources in Christ.

Now that you are a Christian, you need a basic understanding about what Jesus is giving you for your spiritual journey. Sign up for free to download the book, The Adventure of Living with Jesus, and to receive our daily devotions by email so you can discover how to access the spiritual resources God offers you.

2. Spend time exploring God’s Word.

It is important you discover what the Bible says about God, life and eternity.

Find the answers you seek. Be confident that the decisions you are making daily are based on truth. In fact, Jesus promised that the Truth found in the Bible will set us free from whatever has us in bondage. Begin by reading the Gospel of John.

3. Join together with other Christians!

At the very moment you received Christ, you became part of God’s eternal family. Your spiritual vitality depends on you connecting regularly with your new brothers and sisters in God’s family. This “family time” provides mutual encouragement, practical insights about living the Christian life, and direction for fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. Look for a Bible believing church or group of believers in your locality. (Click here to find a church)
