What's next?

Your next step is to show evidence that you have given your life to Jesus by identifying yourself with him. You do this by confessing Jesus publicly, and by following his example by being baptized and joining a church

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 10:32-33

As a new Christian, you are like a spiritual baby and the church is your new family. Attend a Bible believing church this Sunday. Share with the pastor that you have given your life to Jesus and talk to him about being baptized and joining the church.

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Acts 2:41

In addition to confessing publicly, being baptized, and joining a church, you can grow closer to God and strengthen your relationship with him everyday by praying, reading the Bible, and witnessing (sharing your faith with others).

Prayer is talking to God. You can pray anywhere, at anytime. Either silently or out loud.

Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:17, 18

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

Reading the Bible gives you spiritual food to help you grow. If you truly love God, you will want to know what his Word says. The Bible is the record of the Word of God and by reading, memorizing, and meditating on the Bible, we can know God intimately. By reading the Bible, you allow God to speak to you in a personal way.

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 1 Peter 2:2

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119:105

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16,17

Witnessing is sharing your faith with those around you. It doesn't require that you have any special training or fancy words. Just be willing to share the good news about Jesus with those that you come in contact with, as God leads you. It is not always easy to witness. Go to God in prayer, asking for strength in witnessing so that you can boldly tell others about Jesus.

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8
