1.  Start learning more about Jesus by reading the Bible, it is the living Word of God.  Start with the Gospel of John. The truths in the Bible help strengthen our Christian faith.

2.  Pray.  It doesn't have to be with fancy words--just talk with God about how you feel.  The book of Psalms has many examples of prayer.  Jesus gave a wonderful example of prayer in Matthew 6:9-13.  Prayer helps strengthen our relationship with God.  God hears and answers heart-felt prayers to Him for ourselves and others.

3.  Get together regularly with other Christians to study the Bible, worship God, take communion, and be a spiritual encouragement to each other.

4.  Be baptized.Jesus was baptized and we, too, publically acknowledge that we have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior by participating in baptism. 

5.  We need to tell others about what a difference Jesus has made in our lives.
