How Do I Begin Following Jesus?
articleOctober 20, 2026· 1 min read
Following Jesus begins with a simple, honest response of faith — turning to God and trusting Him.
Scripture says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Beginning to follow Jesus is not about getting everything right first; it is about turning toward Him.
You might pray something like this: "Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. Thank You for dying for my sins and rising again. I turn to You. Forgive me, fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and lead my life."
If you prayed that, we would love to know and to walk with you as you take your next steps — baptism, prayer, Scripture, and community.
