How to become a follower of Jesus

  • Decide you want a relationship with God.
  • Decide you want to be in God's kingdom with Jesus as your king.
  • Decide your old value system was not right, and that instead you want to adopt and live by the value system of God.
    • This value system is sacrificial love for the benefit of others.
    • Jesus is our example, particularly his motivating values for life.
  • Tell God about all this, and that you want to be forgiven for the way you lived before.
  • Become involved in a community of others who love Jesus and are seeking to become like him in his values. They can encourage you as you grow in this new way of living.
  • The Bible (especially the New Testament part of it) is a great resource for learning how to follow Jesus.
  • When you have difficulties, tell God about them and ask God for help to live well.
