New Christians
Becoming a Christian is the beginning of a journey. You do not need to know everything, have everything sorted out or pretend to be someone you are not. You can begin just as you are.
Begin with Jesus
Christianity is first of all about knowing Jesus Christ. Read about him in one of the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke or John—and ask God to help you understand what you read. Mark is short and direct; John spends more time explaining who Jesus is.
Talk to God
Prayer does not need special words. Speak honestly to God about what you are thankful for, what worries you, where you need help and what you do not yet understand. You can also sit quietly and make room to listen.
Do not walk alone
Other Christians can encourage you, pray with you and help you learn. Look for a church where Jesus is central, the Bible is taken seriously and people are treated with patience, honesty and love. It is all right to ask questions.
Take one step at a time
Faith grows over time. Keep reading, praying, learning and putting what Jesus teaches into practice. There will be questions and difficult days as well as joy. God is not asking you to perform; he is inviting you to walk with him.
