BEGINNING TO FOLLOW JESUS
I Have Decided to Follow Jesus
You have begun a new life with Jesus.
Following Jesus is not about having everything figured out. It is about learning to live the life you have received from Him.
Begin HereA NEW BEGINNING
You do not have to know everything to begin.
Deciding to follow Jesus is the beginning of a relationship, not the completion of a course.
You will have questions. You will learn new things about God, yourself, and what it means to follow Jesus. Some changes may happen quickly. Others will take time.
That is normal.
Jesus simply invites you to follow Him one step at a time.
LIFE WITH JESUS
Life is received, not achieved.
The Christian life does not begin with everything you are going to do for God. It begins with what God has already done for you through Jesus.
You have been invited to receive His grace, trust Him, and begin learning to live with Him.
You have received life in Christ. Now you can begin learning how to live that life with Him.

Following Jesus is a journey.
You do not need to work through these questions in a particular order. Start with the question that matters most to you right now.
Over time, you will learn more about knowing God, living with Jesus, listening to the Holy Spirit, becoming part of Christian community, serving others, and participating in what God is doing in the world.
The goal is not simply to know more about Christianity.
The goal is to learn to live each day with Jesus.
