Congratulations on your DECISION to follow Jesus!
If you just made a decision to follow Christ for the first time, or recommit your life to Him, want you to know how proud we are of you! The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that the moment you choose to surrender your life to Him, you are “a new person.” Your old life is gone, and it’s time for your new life to begin!
The secret to this new life is keeping your focus on God and taking the steps He’s leading you to take. James 2:17 says, “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” This means that your life should begin to look different, day by day, becoming more like Jesus! The following is our recommended next steps for you to start taking today.
