I said YES to Jesus...Now What?

That's amazing news! By inviting Jesus into your heart, you've embarked on a life-changing journey. Whether you're feeling an immediate change or not, know that you're now a new creation in Christ. It's an exciting time filled with fresh perspectives and a renewed mindset, where you'll start noticing God's hand at work in your life.
So, what comes next on this incredible adventure of faith? Let's dive in:

First, ask Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit. This is like inviting a divine presence into your life, guiding and empowering you every step of the way. It's a beautiful experience that will deepen your connection with God.

Next, grab a Bible to read every day. It's not just any book; it's God's instruction manual for life. If you don't have one, please connect with us and Zion Church Ionia would love to give you a Bible. The Bible is where you'll find God speaking to you, revealing His truths, and providing guidance for your journey.

Finding a good church is vital. Look for one that preaches from the Bible, believes that Jesus is the only way to heaven, and demonstrates God's love in action.

Connecting with a church family will provide you with support, encouragement, and opportunities to grow in your faith.

Talk to the pastor about being baptized with water, an important step that symbolizes your commitment to following Jesus. As you walk this path, it's essential to find a Christian friend or mentor who can navigate this journey alongside you. They can offer guidance, support, and wisdom, helping you navigate any challenges you may face.

Prayer and Bible reading are like the fuel for your faith. Make them a part of your daily routine. Prayer is simply talking to God, pouring out your heart, and sharing your joys and concerns. Don't forget to listen too; God often speaks through His still, small voice. As you read the Bible, expect God to reveal His truths, comfort your soul, and provide wisdom for life's decisions.

Now, let's talk about finding the right church. It can sometimes be challenging, but don't lose heart. Pray and ask God to lead you to the right place. Visit different churches, experience their worship, and listen to the messages. You'll know when you've found the one that feels like home, where you're loved and accepted for who you are.

Remember, being a Christian isn't about following a set of rules or being religious. It's about having a personal relationship with Jesus and spreading His love to others. Enjoy life, laugh, and experience the joy that comes from knowing Him.

As you embark on this incredibleadventure of faith, always remember that the Bible is living and trustworthy, just like the God who wrote it. Trust in Him, seek His guidance, and enjoy every moment of your new journey.

May “the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26.
