How does one begin their Christian life according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

One begins their Christian life by being born again through the Holy Spirit, which is received by faith alone.

According to Galatians 3:3, the Christian life begins in the Spirit, indicating that true conversion is initiated by God through the work of the Holy Spirit. This 'beginning' is characterized by hearing and believing the Gospel, which brings about a new birth (John 3:3). The work of regeneration empowers believers to turn from sin and towards Christ. The emphasis is placed on grace rather than human works—this divine initiation does not require completing the work through the law or personal effort. Hence, from the very start, the Christian's life is sustained not by their strength, but by God's grace and the Holy Spirit’s indwelling.
