"But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus cleanseth us from all sin...If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." ( 1 John 1:7-9)

5. Confess Him publicly as your Lord and Savior.

6. Trust Him with simple, child-like faith.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8)
"But without faith is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6)
"That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us...unto Him be glory.."(Ephesians 3:16-21)
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1)
Pray this simple prayer, in faith, believing He will hear you, and answer: Dear Lord Jesus, With my mouth I confess my sins, my emptiness, my selfishness. Forgive me; cleanse my heart and give me a new beginning. I receive You as the Lord of my life. Here and now, I determine to trust you with my life. And with Your help, I will let You recreate me into a new person. I believe what the Bible says is true, and I'll act upon it. Jesus, wash me, cleanse me, make me new, be my very best friend. In Your name I pray, Lord Jesus. Amen.
Talk to Jesus every day. But don't be bound by religion. Talk to Jesus as you would talk to your closest friend. He is a great listener..but also, He can give you the answers you need. Locating a strong Christian place of worship in your community is extremely important. Bible study and fellowship are just two of the many benefits of being a part of a local body of bellevers. They help you grow in your new relationship with Jesus.
I believe the True Church is the word of Jesus Christ and if His word is in you than You are a church and you are part of the Body of Jesus Christ His church His Word and if you confess and believe in 1-6 and proclam Him as your Lord and Savior and give yourself to Him and be Born Again, than You are a Church and You are of Light You are a Son or Daughter of Light JESUS IS LORD
