We are talking about your decision to say “Yes!” to Jesus!

Did you know that all of heaven is celebrating for you right now?! Luke 15:7 tells us that.

You have made the most important decision to believe in Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.

No matter when you made this decision, you might be wondering:

“What now?  What does it mean to follow Jesus?”

Have you asked those questions?

In this devo series we are going to look at key truths and habits that will help you start your new life in Christ!

We pray that these teachings and tips will help you walk with Jesus and continue to grow in your faith in the days and years ahead.

You've just started!

First let's review what you said “Yes!” to.

In the book of John in the Bible, Jesus is telling people who He is.

He uses seven different “I am…” statements.

One statement is found in John 14:6-7

“Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.”

Here is the first truth that will help you in your journey with Jesus:

Jesus is always the way the truth and the life.

This means that absolutely Jesus was the way to eternal life for you. By faith in Jesus you are fully forgiven and fully saved. That is secure. That is real. And, Jesus will continue to be the way that you will follow and live your life from now on.

You may now call yourself a follower of Jesus and His way.

This might help: You know how people follow different accounts on social media?

For example, a person may follow food bloggers to learn about new recipes or new cooking techniques. Someone might follow history accounts to learn fun history facts throughout the week. Or maybe a person follows sports accounts to stay up to date on what’s happening with their team. Well you are now a follower of Jesus.

You get to follow His way, with His help

The Second Truth that will help you in your journey with Jesus:

You get to learn from Jesus teachings and actions.

Both His teachings, the things He says, and His actions the way He lived will be your guide.

You're going to discover more of that in the Bible as you start reading and learning.

You will start to follow Jesus in the way that you think your thoughts, in the way that you live your actions, in your values, in your decisions and in many more areas of life.

You get to follow Jesus and learn from Him and join His Mission, His way with His help.

So think about this as you start your new life of faith.

You can always come back to this undeniable foundational truth: Jesus is the way the truth and the life!  Not just the way to a saving faith, which you now have, but He is the way you now live your life of faith.  

Jesus continues to be the way, he continues to be the truth, he continues to be the life.

So ponder that truth today and remember Jesus is always the way and you can always come

back to him and his example and teachings when you're not sure what to do.
