I don't know what you might be experiencing now but I know Jesus can bring a new dimension to your life. He can fill your life with a peace that defies description. He can fill your life with purpose, with the satisfaction that comes from helping others. He can fill your life with the assurance that comes from knowing that you belong to Him for all eternity. The Bible says in Acts 8:12, “But when they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.”
Vines Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words says to believe means, “…to be persuaded of, hence, to place confidence in, to trust, signifies, reliance upon, not mere credence.” Believing is not just something that happens between your ears, it is something that happens in your heart. To believe is to be moved in your heart to obey the Lord Jesus and be united with Him in the waters of baptism (Romans 6:3-7, Galatians 3:26-27). Baptism into Christ is the way you enter the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13, Acts 2:47). Do you need to make peace with the past? Do you need purpose for today? Do you want hope for tomorrow? No matter what is or isn’t happening in your life right now believing in Jesus is the answer for your greatest problem – sin.
