Responding to Jesus
Every person must decide how they will respond to Jesus Christ. Throughout this site, you've been encouraged to consider what it means to follow Him - not simply to agree with His teaching, but to recognise Him as Lord and to live in obedient faith. Perhaps these pages have challenged assumptions, raised questions or prompted honest self-examination.
You may be wondering:
- Have I truly responded to Jesus?
- Do I know God personally, or do I only know about Him?
- What is the gospel?
- What does God ask of those who want to follow Him?
They are among the most important questions anyone can ask.
The New Testament consistently calls people not merely to admire Jesus, but to repent, believe the good news and become His disciples. Following Christ begins with responding to Him.
These pages are here to answer those questions from Scripture. Whether you're exploring Christianity for the first time, returning after years away or you've called yourself a Christian for many years, don't assume you've already settled these questions. Take the time to consider what Jesus said, what He accomplished, and what He calls every person to do. Pray as you read, asking God to reveal the truth and to give you a heart that is willing to respond to Him with faith, repentance and obedience.
Whatever your background, don't leave these questions unanswered. Consider what Jesus taught, and respond to Him with honesty and humility.

What Must I Do to Be Saved?
