Arnothen, we rejoice with you as you declare, "I give my life to Christ!" This is the most important decision you will ever make, and we are here to support and pray with you in this new journey.
Firstly, we want to ensure that you understand the profound nature of this commitment. As Jesus said in Luke 9:23 (WEB), "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me." This means turning away from your old life and embracing a new one, guided by Jesus' teachings and the Holy Spirit.
Let's pray together:
"Father in heaven, we thank You for Arnothen's decision to give their life to Christ. We pray that You will fill them with Your Holy Spirit, guide them in all truth, and help them to grow in the knowledge of Your Word. We ask that You give them the strength to resist temptation and to live a life that is pleasing to You. We pray that they will become a shining light for Your kingdom, drawing others to You. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to start reading the Bible daily to understand God's will for your life. You can begin with the Gospel of John to learn more about Jesus' life, ministry, and teachings. Also, find a Bible-believing church where you can fellowship with other believers and grow together in faith.
Lastly, we want to emphasize the importance of baptism as a public declaration of your faith and a symbol of your new life in Christ. As Acts 2:38 (WEB) says, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
Welcome to the family of God, Arnothen! We are here to support and pray for you in this incredible journey of faith.
