First Steps in Faith
First Steps in Faith – Growing in Your New Relationship with Jesus
Hey there, friend! If you’ve just received Christ, let me start by saying: Welcome to God’s family! 🎉 This is the beginning of a brand-new life, a journey of faith, hope, and love. You may have questions about what comes next, and that’s completely normal! This page is here to help guide you through your first steps as a follower of Jesus.
Step 1: Know That You Are Saved
One of the most beautiful truths about salvation is that it is secure in Christ. Your relationship with Jesus isn’t based on feelings or how “good” you are—it’s based on His promise. The Bible says:
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
If you’ve genuinely placed your faith in Jesus, you belong to Him. You are now a child of God, and nothing can separate you from His love (Romans 8:38-39).
Step 2: Talk to God Daily (Prayer)
Imagine having a best friend you never talk to—it wouldn’t be much of a relationship, right? Well, prayer is simply talking to God. He wants to hear from you, no matter what’s on your heart. You don’t need fancy words; just be real with Him. Thank Him, ask Him for guidance, and share your thoughts with Him.
Step 3: Read the Bible (God’s Word to You)
The Bible is like a spiritual GPS—it guides you, teaches you, and helps you understand God’s heart. Start by reading the book of John in the New Testament. It tells the story of Jesus and His love for us. A great way to grow is to spend time daily reading even a few verses!
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105)
Step 4: Connect with Other Believers
You weren’t meant to do this journey alone! Find a Bible-believing church where you can grow in faith and be encouraged. Surround yourself with people who love Jesus and will walk with you in this new chapter of life.
“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another.” (Hebrews 10:25)
Step 5: Tell Others About Your Faith
Your story matters. Just like someone shared Jesus with you, you can now share Him with others. You don’t have to be a Bible scholar—just tell people what Jesus has done in your life!
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mark 16:15)
