What you said yes to
If this is new to you, start here. This is the heart of what it means to follow Jesus.
God made you and loves you
He knows the real you and loves you right now. You don't have to get your life together first.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (NIV)
We've all gone our own way
The Bible calls it sin. We've all turned from God, and none of us can make things right on our own.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 3:23 (NIV)
Jesus made a way back
He gave his life for us and rose again. Forgiveness is a gift we receive by trusting him, not a reward for being good enough.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)
Following Jesus starts with trust
Trusting Jesus means believing God raised him from the dead and letting him lead your life. That's where following him begins.
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9 (NIV)
If you've decided to follow Jesus, this promise is for you.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)

Still figuring it out?
You don't have to clean up your life or have every answer before coming to Jesus. If you're ready to trust him, you can talk to God right now. There are no special words. Here's one way to pray:
God, I know I've done wrong, and I can't fix it on my own. I believe Jesus died for me and rose again. I'm done running. Jesus, I'm trusting you and following you from here. Thank you for forgiving me and making me new. Amen.
If you decided to follow Jesus today, text DECIDED to (812) 432-1981. We'll walk with you through what comes next.
