Next step 01 · Know Jesus
Meet the
real Jesus.
Giving your life to Jesus is the greatest decision you could ever make. It’s not about being good enough. It’s about a God who loves you and made a way.
“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
The good news
The greatest love story.
God loved us so much and wanted a relationship with us so badly that He sent His own Son to bridge the gap.
God made you for Him
You were created by a God who loves you and wants a real relationship with you.
John 3:16Sin got in the way
We’ve all fallen short. Sin separates us from God, and we can’t fix that gap on our own.
Romans 3:23Jesus bridged the gap
Jesus lived a perfect life and died on the cross, taking every sin we have ever committed. Then He rose from the dead, proving He has the authority to save us.
Romans 6:23The old you is gone
When you give your life to Jesus, you’re no longer the same. The old you is gone, and a new you is born.
2 Corinthians 5:17Your first step
As simple as A, B, C.
Starting a relationship with Jesus isn’t complicated. Here’s what the Bible says.
Admit
Admit that God hasn’t been first in your life, confess your sins and surrender your life to Him.
- Romans 3:23“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
- 1 John 1:9“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Believe
Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again.
- Romans 10:9“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
- John 14:6“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Accept
Accept God’s free gift of salvation by grace through faith.
- Ephesians 2:8–9“For by grace you have been saved through faith... it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
- John 1:12“But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God.”
Today is the day
Ready to say yes?
“Indeed, the right time is now. Today is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:2) There are no magic words. God hears your heart. If you’re not sure what to say, you can pray something like this.
God, thank You for loving me even when I’ve gone my own way. I believe Jesus died and rose again for me. I receive Your forgiveness and commit to follow You from this day forward. Amen.
Prayed this? That’s the greatest decision you’ll ever make. Tell us about it below.Just said yes?
We want to celebrate with you.
You don’t have to figure out what comes next on your own. Let us know, and someone from our team will reach out.
I said yes to Jesus
Let us know you gave your life to Jesus so we can pray for you and help you take your next step.
Let us knowShare your story
God is moving. Your story of how you met Jesus could help someone else find Him too.
Share your storyStill have questions?
That’s okay. Questions are part of faith. Reach out and we’ll talk it through with you.
Ask us a question
Do I have to clean up my life first?
No. You come to Jesus as you are, and He does the changing. Romans 5:8 says, “God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.”
I just prayed. What now?
First, let us know. We’d love to celebrate with you and help you take your next step. Then start reading the Bible (the book of John is a great place to start), talk to God every day, and get connected to a church family.
What if I still have questions?
That’s okay. Faith often starts with questions. Ask us anything, or come talk with someone from our team on a Sunday.
Do I need to be baptized?
Baptism doesn’t save you. Jesus does. But baptism is the first step of obedience for every new believer, an outward picture of what Jesus has done inside you. It’s your next step: learn about baptism.
