Now that I believe in Jesus, now that I'm saved, now what?
I'd like to take this time to personally welcome you into the family of God! How glorious it is that you have received and believed the truth of Jesus.
I rejoice with you! But oh, children of God imagine the unspeakable joy of what it will be like when we see our Christ our Savior face to face.
Read
1 John 3:1-3)!
Imagine the joy of seeing the Creator and Savior of all men welcoming us into his everlasting kingdom with loving open arms.
1st and foremost Praise God your heavenly Father for revealing his Son Jesus to you and saving your eternal soul!
#2. Get and buy a Holy Bible ASAP. I recommend for new believers that you buy one of the following translations (King James Version) or the (New Living Translation). Now for online Bible use go to Biblegateway.com your online Bible at your fingertips!
I recommend all new believers to start reading the New Testament of the Bible first and then after your done with the New Testament
then go back and read the Old Testament of the Bible. Read your Bible daily and grow in God's Word, grow in your faith and in the knowledge
of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:17-19). And you do that by reading and studying God's Word. Learn more about this great love God has for you
and how he expresses and reveals his love towards you through sending his Son Jesus the Savior for you.
#3. Find a Bible believing church for you to attend and join. You need to be part of a body of believers who are anointed and who are filled with the God's Spirit (the Holy Spirit). Make sure the church is a Bible believing church that preaches and teaches the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Which is that (a)
Christ is the Son of God and that he died on the cross for our sins, that he was buried, and he resurrected bodily from the grave three days later.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
The Resurrection of Christ
Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved,
if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
If the church that you're going to does not preach this gospel of Jesus Christ do not (do not attend or join there), for they are accursed if they or anyone preaches another gospel other than the death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Christ Jesus. Read (Galatians 1:1-9) for proof of this. This is because Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation and this is God's good news to mankind. Not something that man made up.
When looking for a church home make sure that (a) it is a Bible believing Church that proclaims the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Essential trues to look for when searching for a church home below.
1. Make sure they preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ as the only means of salvation. Read (Galatians 1:1-9).
Make sure they believe in the death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Christ Jesus. Read (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
2. Make sure they believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God in human flesh
and that he came to this world in human flesh (make sure they believe Jesus became a man). Make sure they believe Jesus died on the cross for our sins and make sure they believe and proclaim he resurrected bodily from the grave three days later. Read (1 John 4:1-4) (Romans 3:19-31) (Romans 10:9-13) (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
3. Make sure they believe Jesus Christ is the one and only Savior. And he is the only way of salvation. Read (1 John 4:14) (John 4:42).
Make sure they believe through his name and through him alone is there salvation. Read (Acts 4:12) (John 14:6).
4. Make sure they believe Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father, heaven, and eternal life. Read (John 14:6).
And make sure they believe Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and men. Read (1 Timothy 2:4-6).
5. Make sure they believe Jesus Christ is the only one who can forgive us of all our sins and grant us eternal life. Read (Luke 24:45-47) (Acts 10:43) (Matthew 1:21).
6. Make sure they believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired inerrant Word of God. Read (2 Timothy 3:16) (2 Peter 1:20-21)
7. Make sure they believe in the Holy Trinity of God (Matthew 28:19). Make sure they worship and believe in one God and not three gods.
For we do not serve three gods people of the world, we serve and worship one God through his Son Jesus Christ. Read (1 Timothy 2:4-6) (Romans 3:30).
I'm telling you this for your future reference because God's Spirit is speaking through me to tell you this. God is preparing you to be alert and to know the truth. Because false prophets are already out among us preaching these heresies and blasphemies that we worship three separate gods. Which is an abomination to God, and of which is idolatry. This is a lie proclaimed by the devil to deceive this world from the truth of Jesus. But you have already received and believed the truth of Jesus and you are the true children of God. In fact, the Scriptures say you have already overcome the evil one and this evil world because of your faith in God's Son Jesus! Read (1 John 5:1-5)
Also Make sure they believe that Jesus will return to earth again in the Second Coming of Christ and he will return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords
to judge the world! If this church does not preach these trues do not go, there! Find one that does. Pray and ask God the Father in the name of his Son Jesus
to lead you to a good church home filled with his Spirit.
#4. Get equipped and endow yourself in the Word of God (the Holy Bible)
Now that you believe in Jesus oh children of God now that you are saved and have been awakened to the truth of God, you need to be transformed by the Word of God. Just as you eat physical food every day, you need spiritual food. Your spiritual food is the Holy Bible. So therefore, do not starve your spirit. Read your bibles daily and feed on the Word of God. Grow in your faith and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Your mind needs to be changed, it needs to be renewed, and it needs to be transformed with the things of God. This means your mind needs to be renewed and transformed by the Word of God (the Holy Bible.)
The Scriptures tell us "Do not be conformed to this world but by ye transformed by the renewing of your minds Romans 12:2."
This means now that you believe in Jesus, now that you are saved, now that you are a child of God do not be conformed and still live for this wicked world any longer. Give up your wicked way of living. Purge yourselves of sin and wickedness and come follow Jesus in righteousness. This world with all its pleasures and wickedness will soon fade away like the grass. This world will be judged by the wrath of God because the people of this world love not God and his Son. The people of this world reject the truth of God which is displayed in the very person of Christ Jesus. This world rejects Christ and the truth of his gospel. But you are not like that for you are different, you have been called to glory. You have been called to know God's Son Jesus and to follow him, you are the children of God and you are to be transformed by the Word of God. The Word of God will renew your minds for righteousness, and it will prepare you to become more and more Christlike and to live and walk in his love.
When you read the Word of God, when you apply it to your life, and when you live it out it will change you,
it will mature you more and more into the image of Christ Jesus.
Titus 3:5-7 (NLT)
5He saved us, not because of the good things we did, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins and gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit.
[a] 6He generously poured out the Spirit upon us because of what Jesus Christ our Savior did.
7He declared us not guilty because of his great kindness. And now we know that we will inherit eternal life.
2 Peter 1:1-3 (NLT)
Greetings from Peter
1This letter is from Simon[a] Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ.
I am writing to all of you who share the same precious faith we have,
faith given to us by Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, who makes us right with God.
2May God bless you with his special favor and wonderful peace
as you come to know Jesus, our God and Lord,[b] better and better.
Growing in the Knowledge of God
3As we know Jesus better, his divine power gives us everything we need for living a godly life. He has called us to receive his own glory and goodness!
