Meeting Jesus is the first step in following the way that Christ lays out for us.
John 14:8 says, I am the way and 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.
Confessing is a pivotal step because that's when you declare publicly that Jesus is Lord over your life and you're choosing to follow the steps He's asking you to take.
ROMANS 10:9
Walking the path Jesus sets before us is a daily decision and not a one-time choice. Christ calls us to follow Him by practicing and living the way He did.
MATTHEW 16:24
ROMANS 8:12-14
In His life, Jesus was very clear that He came to serve others and not be served. So we practice this example by serving others through the local church or other avenues.
MARK 10:45
We're called to share Christ with those around us through our love, actions, and words.
MATTHEW 28:19-20
