What Comes Next?

Living After the First Steps

You’ve heard Jesus. You’ve believed. You’ve repented. You’ve been baptized. You’ve begun obeying His words. Now what?

The road doesn’t end—it begins. And the path forward is just as simple as the path in.

1. Keep Listening to Jesus

Keep reading His words. Let them be your guide. Don’t trade the Shepherd’s voice for the noise of others. You don’t need a commentary. You need Him.

2. Keep Obeying

Every day brings small opportunities to live what He taught. Forgive. Love. Speak truth. Stay humble. Give quietly. Walk in light. Endure.

3. Don’t Be Surprised By Loneliness

It’s nice to walk with others. But you may not. Jesus never said you would. He said: “Follow me.” That’s a path one soul can walk, even alone. And you’re never truly alone if you follow Him.

4. Be at Peace with Others

You don’t need to fight anyone to follow Jesus. You can love those who disagree with you. You can live with others without living like them. What they believe doesn’t change what you do.

5. Keep Watch

Jesus said to stay ready. The Kingdom is near. Your job now is to live like that’s true—because it is.

“He who endures to the end will be saved.” — Matthew 24:13

This isn’t a group project. Salvation is between you and the one who said, “Follow me.”

So keep following.
