You Said Yes: How Do I Start My New Life With Jesus?Sample

What Am I Learning?

Congratulations! You’ve made it through the first week of this 21-Day Plan! We’re so glad you took these intentional steps to grow in your faith.

Deciding to follow Jesus is a big decision, and it has probably stirred up some new ideas, questions, and perhaps doubts. That’s okay. Remember, following Jesus is a lifelong journey, so we don’t need to have all the mysteries of faith figured out after one week.

With all of that in mind—how are you doing?

Maybe you feel excited and expectant, or you might feel a little uncertain. You might not even be able to describe exactly how you’re feeling.

Don’t worry about having a “right” answer. Your honest answer is the best answer.

In the past week, we’ve seen that God loves us, forgives us, and provides us with a purpose—to become more like Jesus every day. We’ve also seen that He wants to have a close relationship with us, so He’s provided us with ways to relate to Him.

We’ve only scratched the surface of all there is to know about following Jesus, and we’re excited to continue this journey together.

As we conclude week one and get ready for week two, find a piece of paper or open your notes app and write down a question or two you might have about God, faith, or the Bible. Then, share your question with a pastor or trusted friend sometime this week.

Challenge: Read the verse below and think about it for a minute or two before talking with God about what you’re learning so far.

… he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 NIV
