Salvation - becoming a follower Of Jesus
Saying “yes” to Jesus is the beginning of a relationship - not the end of a checklist. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about faith.
The Bible says:
Believe + Accept = Become
To follow Jesus means you believe that He is the Son of God - that He came for you, died for your sins, and rose again so you could have new life. It means you trust Him, receive His forgiveness, and choose to walk with Him.
When you say yes to Jesus, you become a child of God. You’re not just forgiven - you’re welcomed into God’s family.
Following Jesus is a journey. It’s learning His Word, growing in faith, serving others, being part of a church community, and becoming more like Him day by day. And you’ll discover something beautiful along the way: life is most fulfilling when it’s lived with Him at the center.
If you’re ready to begin, you can pray something like this:
A Simple Prayer
“Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I ask You to forgive me, make me new, and lead my life. I choose to follow You. Teach me to know You and grow in You. Thank You for loving me and making me Your child. Amen.”
If you’ve made this decision, we would love to walk with you. Let us know - we’re here to help you take your next steps and grow in your new life with Christ.
The Bible says:
“But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God.” - John 1:12
