Next Steps
It Starts With Jesus.
Everyone has an opinion about Jesus. Maybe, you think He's a great teacher or a prophet. Perhaps, you think He didn't exist at all. Whatever you believe, we can probably agree that Jesus changed things. We believe He wants to help you.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6 KJV).
Jesus claimed He knew God---No big deal, right? Plenty of people make the same claim, and that was over 2,000 years ago. Why does it matter to you now? How does who Jesus is, and what He's done, affect your life now in your: 9 to 5; trying to take care of your kids; paying bills; or just keeping your head above water?
God, the Creator of the universe, has a purpose for you and your life. He loves you and wants to help you because He is a good God. And because of that, His plans are better than your plans. You don't have to measure yourself to some impossible religious standard to know Him. You just have to take a few simple steps.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9 KJV).
You don't have to be perfect. Through His death on the cross and then coming back from the dead, Jesus took all of your wrong and gave you all of His right. If you believe this, and commit to following Him, your life will never be the same. It's as simple as ABC:
A) Admit that we need a Saviour to save us from our sins, and then turn away from those sins.
B) Believe that Jesus died and rose from the grave to conquer sin and death once and for all, and believing that He is who He said He is (God).
C) Confess that Jesus is Lord and that you want to follow Him. Believing in Jesus is the first step on the greatest journey of your life. You haven't finished the race yet--you've just gotten started. The best is yet to come!
