Foundations of Following Jesus

Following Jesus is more than a decision-it is the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith, obedience, and transformation.But where do you begin? What are the foundational truths and practices that help establish a strong life with Christ?In Foundations of Following Jesus: Beginning Your New Life in Christ, Dr. Mike Prah provides a clear, Bible-centered guide to five foundational commands of Jesus that establish the direction of Christian discipleship.Rooted in Scripture and written in a warm, practical style, this book will help you understand not only what Jesus commands, but why His commands matter and how to live them out in everyday life.In This Volume, You Will Learn How To:Repent and Believe the Gospel - Understand repentance, saving faith, God’s grace, forgiveness, new life, and the hope of eternal life with Christ.Be Baptized - Discover the biblical meaning of baptism as a joyful act of obedience, public identification with Christ, and celebration of new life.Follow Jesus - Learn what it means to live under the loving lordship of Christ, surrender daily, imitate His life, and faithfully follow wherever He leads.Love God With All Your Heart - Develop wholehearted devotion to God that shapes your worship, priorities, decisions, obedience, and everyday life.Love One Another - Learn to demonstrate the self-giving love of Jesus through forgiveness, humility, compassion, service, generosity, and practical care.Each chapter includes clear biblical teaching, supporting Scriptures, examples from the early believers, practical spiritual-formation insights, actionable steps, reflection questions, and prayer to help move biblical truth from understanding into everyday practice.Throughout the book, one truth remains central: we do not obey Jesus in order to earn salvation or God’s love. Salvation is God’s gift of grace received through faith in Jesus Christ. Obedience is the fruit of salvation, not the price of salvation.Whether you are a new believer, returning to faith, preparing for baptism, discipling another Christian, leading a small group, or simply seeking a stronger spiritual foundation, this book will help you take meaningful steps toward becoming a faithful and growing disciple of Jesus Christ.Part of the Following Jesus SeriesFoundations of Following Jesus is Volume One of the Following Jesus Series: A Discipleship Pathway for Every Believer-a practical biblical journey designed to help believers grow from their first steps of faith to a lifetime of faithful discipleship and mission.Jesus is still calling: 'Follow Me.'The question is how we will respond.Build your foundation.
