So, you’re investigating the whole Jesus-Church-Bible thing. Maybe you are wondering What is Christianity? How will committing my life to Christ affect my life? If you are curious to discover the truth about what it means to become a Christ-follower, this video explains it in a way that is relevant to your life right now.
Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be- you get a fresh start, your slate’s wiped clean. Psalm 32:1 (MSG)
Okay, you’ve prayed. You’ve asked Jesus Christ to cleanse you and come into your heart. Here are your next steps:
- Tell someone what you have done. Maybe a friend who has been praying for you. Give them the good news! If you don’t have anyone else you can tell, call the church and let one of the Pastors know.
- Start reading your Bible. We recommend The Message or The New Living translations. These Bibles are written in way you can easily understand.
- Find a Bible-believing church and start attending. We would be delighted to have you attend The Bridge, but that is not what is most important. Ask God to lead you to the church He wants you to attend. Get involved.
- Serve. Start spending time with people who will help you grow in your walk with Christ.
- Do NOT turn away from your old friends. It’s true that you might not be able to go to the old places you used to go, and you might not be able to do the things you used to do, BUT don’t do anything that would make your old friends get the idea that you think you’re better than them.
- Pray and read your Bible every day. Start with the book of John, then read Psalms and Proverbs. When you pray, simply talk to God the way you would talk to a friend.
- Get baptized. Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision for Christ.
- Sign up for the New Believers Life Group.
