Want to Follow Jesus?
We’re so glad you’re considering following Jesus! Here’s a simple overview of what it means to follow Him, with Bible verses to guide you:
God’s Love for You
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16
God created you and loves you deeply. He desires a relationship with you, and that’s why He sent His Son, Jesus, to show us how to live and to save us from sin.
The Problem of Sin
We all make mistakes and fall short of God’s perfect standard. The Bible calls this sin, and it separates us from God. But there’s good news!
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” – Romans 3:23
Jesus’ Sacrifice
Jesus came to earth, lived a perfect life, and died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. He rose from the dead, conquering sin and death so that we could be forgiven and restored to a relationship with God.
“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8
How to Follow Jesus
Following Jesus means believing in Him, repenting of our sins, and choosing to live in a way that honors Him. It’s about trusting Him as Savior and allowing Him to lead your life.
“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” – Romans 10:9
A New Life
When you decide to follow Jesus, you are given a fresh start. The Holy Spirit will help you grow, guide you in truth, and empower you to live out your faith.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17
If you want to follow Jesus, it starts with a simple prayer:
"Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I am sorry for my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. I choose to follow You and trust You with my life. Thank You for loving me and giving me new life."
