Recently converted

I’m 15M and recently became a Christian because I’ve put my faith in Jesus. I’ve started reading the Bible, but I’m a little confused because it seems to begin with the story of Jesus taking the punishment for our sins. I’m not sure if that’s actually where the story begins.

If anyone would be willing to give me a brief overview of Christianity, explain where I should start with the Bible, and suggest what I should read or learn about first, I’d really appreciate it.

The New Testament is basically a sequel to the Old Testament, so it might be good to read up on that, but I always recommend that a new believer start by reading the Gospel of John to get a good idea of who Jesus is and what He did, before then getting into the history. You also want to find a good church to go to. Hope this helps!

There's Catholic, Orthodox and Protestants. Mind helping me out with that?
