Believing in Jesus is a personal and spiritual journey, and the next steps can vary depending on your individual circumstances and the specific aspects of your faith you want to explore. Here are some general suggestions that may help guide you:
Prayer and Relationship with God:
● Establish a regular prayer routine to connect with God.
● Share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns with God through prayer.
● Seek guidance and wisdom through prayer.
Read the Bible:
● The Bible is central to Christian belief. Consider starting with the New Testament,
which focuses on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
● Many people find it helpful to begin with the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
John) to learn about Jesus’ life and teachings.
Attend Church Services:
● Join a local Christian community or church to worship with fellow believers.
● Participate in church services, study groups, and activities to deepen your
understanding of Christian teachings.
Fellowship and Community:
● Connect with other believers who can provide support and encouragement in your Christian walk.
● Building relationships with other Christians can help you grow spiritually and navigate
your newfound beliefs.
Baptism:
● Consider baptism if you haven’t been baptized. Baptism is a symbol
of a believer’s identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Learn from Others:
● Seek guidance from pastors, mentors, or experienced Christians who can offer
insights and advice as you explore your new life in Jesus.
Practice Love and Compassion:
● Embrace the teachings of Jesus by practicing love, compassion, forgiveness, and
kindness in your interactions with others.
Continue Learning:
● Christianity is rich and deep. Continue to study and learn about its teachings,
history, and theology.
Serve Others:
● Actively look for opportunities to serve others in your community. Helping those in
need is a tangible way to live out your Christian lifestyle.
Live a Christian Lifestyle:
● Strive to align your actions, values, and choices with Christian principles. Let your
faith influence how you live your life.
Remember that your walk with God is a personal journey, and it’s okay to take it one step at a time. Don’t hesitate to seek guidance from your local church community and spend time in prayer as you navigate your journey with Christ.
In past times, the advice that would be given to someone who was a new believer was to seek out a bible believing church. Now while that is still true, the advent of social media and the internet, has widened the reach of the local church. Our recommendation now is that if Faith Global Ministry online can help enrich your walk with Jesus and can serve your spiritual needs, consider becoming a member. If an online format for church does not fit or you need the one and one of a local body, please find a church locally in your area that is Bible-believing and will give you the spiritual care needed to help you grow in Jesus.
