Dear believer in Christ, what happened to you when you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ? Simply put, what happened to you when you got saved? I'm here to tell you that there are at least 28 things that immediately happened to you the moment you genuinely believed in Jesus Christ. These 28 things are revealed to you here below. Let's go through every one of them together.
Chapter 1. When you came to Christ, your forgiven of all your sins completely because you placed your genuine faith in him (Christ Jesus the Son of God). Read (Acts 10:43) (Acts 13:38) (1 John 2:12) (John 5:24).
Your sincere faith in Jesus has purified and cleansed you from all sin. Because his precious pure perfect blood that was shed for sinners (for you and for me) is more than worthy than your unrighteousness. Your faith in him who is sinless and perfect has cleansed you the sinner from all sin. Because you trusted in him and asked him to forgive you and save you, he will because he is faithful to his words and he cannot lie, it's not in him. You shall be granted mercy and you are forgiven of all sin thus therefore cleansed from all unrighteousness because of your faith in the sinless Son of God Christ Jesus is he! Look at the word of God below.
Acts 10:43 (KJV)
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Acts 13:38 (KJV)
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
1 John 2:12
I am writing to you who are God's children because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus.
*So, remember people of the world when you came to Christ, your forgiven of all your sins completely past, present, and future because you placed your genuine faith in him (Christ Jesus the Son of God).
Chapter 2. Because you have come to Christ for salvation, God will never remember yours sins no more because they are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ His Son.
When you came to Christ Jesus, God himself blotted out all your transgressions and sins. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God! Read (Isaiah 43:25) (John 5:24) (Revelation 1:5-6) (Revelation 5).
Isaiah 43:25
25 "I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.
John 5:24
24 Jesus said "I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life."
*So, remember people of the world because you have come to Christ for salvation, God will never remember your sins no more because they are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. When you came to Christ God himself blotted out all your transgressions and sins!
Chapter 3. When you came to Christ Jesus, you have been born again.
Dear believer in Christ If you have sincerely put your trust and faith in Jesus Christ you have been born again. God himself has done a supernatural miracle on the inside of you that is so glorious and truly unexplainable at the same time. You are not the same person you used to be, and you are now recognizing this too. You have been genuinely transformed in Christ, and this is because you believed in the sacred gospel of Jesus Christ. People of the world the word of God is true, and the word of God is powerful and is still able to save wretched sinners. You were once in the kingdom of darkness headed for eternal damnation because of your sins and acts of lawlessness, but now you have been saved and transferred by Christ into the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:12-14). You are now a child of the living God because you have received and believed in the only begotten Son of God (John 1:12). You dear believer have been resurrected to a new life in Christ (Romans 6:3-5). Christ himself is now living inside of you and he is now living his life through yours. Before you came to Christ you lived life to please yourself, to serve yourself and your own desires, but now that you've come to Christ, he is calling you to live for him and to follow him (Luke 9:23). Never forget dear reader that Christ is surely worthy of all our worship, adoration, servitude and praise because of the great sacrifice he made for us guilty sinners on the cross. When you believe in Jesus by faith, you are instantly supernaturally given the Holy Spirit, when your given the Holy Spirit you are born again spiritually and thus born of God, when you are born again spiritually (now thus born of God) you are a new creation in Christ all done by God's Spirit through faith in Jesus that changes thee. You are instantly supernaturally given the Holy Spirit (God's Spirit) when you believe in Jesus. Your sincere faith in Jesus makes you born again spiritually this makes you a new creation in Christ. For it is written " Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). Read (Acts 2:38) (Ephesians 1:12-14) (Ephesians 4:29-31)
1 John 5
Faith in the Son of God
1Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
*So, remember people of the world when you came to Christ, you were born again spiritually. He who is only born once (meaning he who is only born physically) will die twice, but he who is born twice (meaning he who has had a physical birth and a spiritual birth through faith in Christ) will only die once. Read that statement again. For proof of this read (John 3:3-7) (Revelation 2:11) (Revelation 20:6, 13-15) (Revelation 21:7-8).
Chapter 4. When you came to Christ Jesus, your given a gift from God which is the person of His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ my people is a gift given unto us in it of himself. He is the most precious gift of all gifts. O taste and see that He the Lord is good. He will live in you now and forever. He is with you always even to the end of the age. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Read (Matthew 28:19-20) (Hebrews 13:5).
Matthew 28:19-20 (NLT)
19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,[a] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.�
Hebrews 13:5
5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
Psalm 34:8
8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
Jesus is Our Reward; Jesus is Our treasure!
People of the world Jesus is your treasure, He's the most valuable gift given unto you, He's the most valuable possession! Heaven is not your destination my people. Jesus is your destination. He's the start and He's the end. So many of you are looking for and waiting for complete fulfillment in Heaven, but you don't realize yet what fully has already been unveiled and revealed unto you by God the Father through his Spirit. This is the revelation of which I'm speaking of "You have received the greatest (the greatest) gift and you have received the greatest possession in all of existence already! You just don't realize it yet. You don't realize your complete fulfillment; your freedom is right in front of you. If you've found and received Christ (and by now you should have) heaven is destined for you, automatically given to you. You cannot have heaven without knowing and loving God. And to know God is to know his Son (John 14:6) (John 17:1-3). God's Kingdom will be inhabited by those who love God thus those who love his Son. Let me say this again and here's the revelation revealed unto you "Your greatest treasure, your greatest fulfillment is not in a place (such as heaven) it's found in a person, the person of Christ Jesus!" Heaven should not be your ultimate goal. Loving Christ for simply who he is (God), your Savior and Lord should be. Above all else you should desire him; you should desire a personal loving relationship with Christ your Savior and Lord. He desires to be with you, he loves you no matter what you have done, and he promises to care for you everlastingly if you place your trust in him. Dear reader which is greater, heaven or the God who created it? Which is greater the creation, or the Creator and Savior himself? Jesus is our (the believers) treasure people of the world. Treasure him now and forevermore. Grab a hold on to him and experience the deepness and depth of his rich love he has for you (even though it is far too deep for anyone to fully grasp and understand). The word for you to remember is this "Grab a hold on to him (Jesus) which is your treasure and never let him go."
*So, remember people of the world when you came to Christ, your given a gift from God which is the person of His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ my people is a gift given unto us in it of himself. He is the most precious of all gifts. Cherish him now and forevermore.
Chapter 5. Because you have accepted Christ Jesus into your hearts and lives, you're given by God the gift of everlasting life and heaven is now your eternal home. Read (John 3:16, 36) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (1 John 5:11-13).
John 3:16, 36 (KJV)
16.For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.36He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 5:24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 6:40, 47
40For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."47I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.
1 John 5:11-13
11 And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God�s Son does not have life.
Conclusion
13 I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.
*So, remember people of the world, because you have accepted Christ Jesus into your hearts and lives, you're given by God the gift of everlasting life and heaven is now your eternal home.
Chapter 6. When you came to Christ, you're given another gift of God which is God's promised Holy Spirit.
The person of The Holy Spirit comes to live and dwell on the inside of you the believer in Christ forever. He has sealed all genuine believers in Christ unto the day of redemption. He will teach you and guide you into all truth. Read (Romans 8) (Acts 2:38) (Ephesians 1:12-14) (Ephesians 4:29-31) (John 16:13-15).
The Holy Spirit is God's Spirit given unto you instantly by God once you truly believe in Christ Jesus his Son. Which is the Spirit of truth! You may not see the sky's opening or some miraculous miracle of God, but make no mistake about it, you are instantly given the Holy Spirit once you truly believe in the name of The Only begotten Son of God. This is your proof and assurance that you are forgiven of all your sins, and now are a child of the most high God.
Ephesians 1:12-14 (KJV)
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 4:29-31 (KJV)
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
John 16:13-15
13But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. 15All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ, you're given another gift of God which is God's promised Holy Spirit.
Chapter 7. When you came to Christ your name is now written in the Lamb's book of life. Read (Luke 10:19-21) (Revelation 13:8) (Revelation 20:15) (Revelation 21:27) (Philippians 4:2-4).
The book of life is God's book of those that will spend eternity in heaven with he and the Son because of their faith in the Son of the living God Christ Jesus is he. Only those whose names are written in the book of life will enter heaven (Revelation 20:15). And those names that are written in the book of life are there solely because they sincerely repented of their sins and they genuinely placed their faith in the Son of the living God Jesus is He. Those who truly believe in the Son of God (their names, thus your names) are written in God's book of life!
Luke 10:19-21 (KJV)
19Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Revelation 13:8
All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast-all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
Revelation 20:14-15 (KJV)
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:27
Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ your name is now written in the Lamb's book of life.
Chapter 8. When you came to Christ you need to understand you are now heirs with God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ!
This means everything that Christ has you have! Did you really understand what I just said? Read (Romans 8:16-17) (Galatians 4:5-7).
Romans 8:16-17
16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ you are now heirs with God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ.
Chapter 9. When you came to Christ you need to understand you are now blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms (in heavenly places) because you are one with Christ Jesus! Hallelujah! Read (Ephesians 1:3).
Ephesians 1:3 (KJV)
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ you are now blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.
Chapter 10. When you came to Christ, God gives you a new heart that desires to follow him through His Son Jesus.
Religion cannot change your heart, the person of Jesus changes your heart, church traditions cannot change your heart, the person of Jesus changes your heart. Let's look at the word of God below. Read (Ezekiel 11:19-20) (Ezekiel 36:26-27) (Hebrews 10:15-17).
Ezekiel 11:19-20
19And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Ezekiel 36:26-27
26A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Hebrews 10:15-17 (KJV)
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ, God gives you a new heart that desires to follow him through His Son Jesus.
Chapter 11. When you came to Christ sanctification immediately begins in your life.
The bible says the moment you came to Christ you have been sanctified (past tense) and you are currently being sanctified in your life. The moment you came to Christ, God is conforming you to the image of his Son Christ Jesus. He is the potter and you are the clay and he is molding you to Christ likeness (Jeremiah 18:1-6). God sanctifies you through his word the Holy bible and by His Spirit. The word of God is sufficient for every area of your life. Just know and understand people of God that God is sanctifying you and he is working mightily in you to accomplish his holy will. Look at the word of God below in 1 Thessalonians 5:24 it so reads "Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it." God will get the job done in you, He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of redemption. He will get the glory out of your life. He will faithfully bring about the salvation of your very souls. Yes, He God will do it. For it is written "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty (Zechariah 4:6).
John 17:16-18 (KJV)
16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
1 Thessalonians 5:22-24 (KJV)
22Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ, sanctification immediately begins in your life. God sanctify's you through his word the Holy bible and by His Spirit.
Chapter 12. When you came to Christ Jesus you died with Christ. Read (Romans 6:1-23) (Colossians 2:20).
Colossians 2:20
20Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules:

Ephesians 2:4-10
4But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved. 6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ, God himself seated you in heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
Chapter 16. When you came to Christ, you are now baptized in the body of Christ (and thus placed in the family of God forever). Read (Romans 6:3-4) (1 Corinthians 12:12-14).

3Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
1 Corinthians 12:12-14 (KJV)
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ, you are now baptized in the body of Christ (and thus placed in the family of God).
Chapter 17. When you came to Christ, God has now become your Father and you are now his son or daughter. Read (Romans 8:14-16, 23) (John 1:12) (Galatians 3:26) (Galatians 4:5-7) (2 Corinthians 6:16-18) (Ephesians 3:6) (1 John 2:12) (1 John 5:1, 4-5, 11-13) (Revelation 21:3, 7).
Romans 8:14-16 (KJV)
14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.15For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Galatians 4:5-7 (KJV)
5To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
2 Corinthians 6:16-18
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too.
4 For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. 5 And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
11 And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God�s Son does not have life.

Chapter 18. When you came to Christ, you need to understand you are now declared justified (this means declared righteous) in His God's sight, this is now and forevermore. Read (Acts 13:38-39) (Romans 3:23-25, 28) (Romans 4) (Romans 5:1, 9) (Romans 8:30) (Romans 10:9-13) (1 Corinthians 6:11) (Galatians 2:16) (Galatians 3:24).
Acts 13:38-39
38"Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.

23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Romans 3:27-30
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. 28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. 29Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
Romans 5:1, 9
[ Peace and Joy ] Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 9Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
Romans 10:9-13
9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."[e] 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile�the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."[f]
1 Corinthians 6:11
11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Galatians 2:16
16know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ, you are now declared justified (declared righteous) by God.
Chapter 19. When you came to Christ, you no longer are enemies of God, you now are friends of God and you now are at peace with God forevermore. Read (John 15:13-15) (Romans 5:1, 10-11) (Colossians 1:20-22).
You may not know this, but the Scriptures say before you came to Christ you were enemies of God because of your sins. Your sins had separated you from God and the wrath of God was upon you. Think about that for a while. Unknowingly or knowingly you worshipped the father of all lies (the Devil) by following the ways of this world with all its lustful evil desires and practices (John 3:16-18, 36) (Ephesians 2:1-10) (Romans 5:1-11, 21) (Romans 6:23). But since you came to Christ and furthermore now that you have believed and received that Jesus is the Son of God whom God himself has sent to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins (John 1:12) (1 John 2:2) (1 John 4:10) (Hebrews 9:28), God has forgiven you of all your sins completely through Christ's sacrifice on the cross for you and God has graciously saved you when you believed in his Son Jesus. Thus you now have peace with God, you are in right standing with God, and furthermore you are forgiven of all your sins because God's anger and full wrath for your sins was satisfied in full on the cross when he punished Christ to save you. This means you will be the few spared of God's wrath, and instead of his wrath falling upon you as you so justly deserve, he assures you and grants you mercy, forgiveness, loving kindness, safety and eternal life when he returns and when you meet him on judgment day. And all because you believed in his Son Jesus to save you. Jesus assures you that anyone who believes in him will not (will not) be condemned but they have already passed from death into life". Jesus said in Scripture (John 5:24) "I assure you, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life." Read (Acts 10:43) (Acts 13:38-39) (Romans 10:9-13) (John 10:9) (John 11:25-26) (Acts 4:12) (1 John 2:12) (1 John 5:11-13) (Colossians 2:13-15) (1 Thessalonians 5:9-10) (Titus 3:5-7).
John 15:13-15
13 Jesus said "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me."
Romans 5:1, 10-11
1[ Peace and Joy ] Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. 11 So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.
Colossians 1:20-22
20 and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ's blood on the cross. 21 This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. 22 Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ, you no longer are enemies of God, you now are friends of God and you now are at peace with God.
Chapter 20. Because you came to Christ you now have a literal luxurious mansion waiting for you in heaven.
Heaven is a lot like earth people of the world but infinitely greater. For example, there will be animals there, there will be streets and trees there, there will be mountains there, there will be water, food, and mansions there in heaven etc. Read (John 14:1-3).
This is just one of the many benefits of being a child of God. There will be no homeless believers in heaven. Everyone will have a place to stay. The best place however is not inside of a mansion, the best place I say (the very best place to be) is to be in Jesus' presence laying at his feet.
John 14:1-3 (KJV)
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ, you now have a literal luxurious mansion waiting for you in heaven.
Chapter 21. Because you came to Christ you now have a spiritual mansion (meaning you now have a glorified eternal body waiting for you). This body will be fashioned and likened unto his (Jesus') glorious eternal body. Read (Romans 8:23) (2 Corinthians 5:1-9) (1 John 3:2) (1 Corinthians 15:35-58).
2 Corinthians 5:1-9
Our Heavenly Dwelling
1Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, 3because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 4For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 6Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7We live by faith, not by sight. 8We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.
1 John 3:2
2Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears,[a]we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
*So, remember people of the world, when you came to Christ, you now have a spiritual mansion (meaning you now have a glorified eternal body waiting for you). This body will be fashioned and likened unto his (Jesus') glorious eternal body.
Chapter 22. The moment you came to Christ you now have an Advocate who speaks to God the Father for you on your behalf.
1 John 2:1-2
1 My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. 2 He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins-and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.
*So, remember people of the world, the moment you came to Christ, you now have an Advocate who is Jesus Christ the righteous One.
Chapter 23. The moment you came to Christ you have been redeemed. Yes, you were bought with the precious blood of Jesus.
1 Peter 1:17-20
17 And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time as "foreigners in the land." 18 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. 19 It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20 God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but he has now revealed him to you in these last days.
Galatians 3:13
13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."[a
Revelation 5:8-10
8And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
*So, remember people of the world, the moment you came to Christ, you now have been redeemed by Jesus.
Chapter 24. The moment you came to Christ you now have been given unlimited access to the believer's spiritual armour of God.
Ephesians 6:11-17
11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
*So, remember people of the world, the moment you came to Christ, you now have been unlimited access to the believer's spiritual armour of God so therefore use it.
Chapter 25. The moment you came to Christ (you the believer) has now been given authority in Jesus' mighty name
(Mark 13:34-35)
34For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
*So, remember people of the world, the moment you came to Christ, (you the believer) has now have been given authority in Jesus' mighty name!
Chapter 26. The moment you came to Christ you have inherited a robe of righteousness given to you by God himself.
(Isaiah 61:10)
10I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
*So, remember people of the world, the moment you came to Christ, (you the believer) has inherited a robe of righteousness given to you by God himself.
Chapter 27. The moment you came to Christ you were born kings.
A king cannot be made or voted into office, kings are born royalty. You must be in the right family line. The revelation is this "When you came to Christ you were born kings, you were born royalty, you were born in the right family line. The bible says that you are a king under The King of kings (who is Jesus) and that you will rule and reign with Him Christ when He returns. How incredible is that?" Read (Revelation 1:5-6) (Revelation 5:10) (Revelation 20:4, 6) (Genesis 1:26-31). Even though it is true that you will be a king, that you will be royalty that will rule and reign with Christ Jesus, it is imperative for you to know and understand that you will never at any time be worshipped or become God yourself. You are a king under The King of kings, you are a son of God only because of The Only Begotten Son of God. We are always to be submissive and obedient to Christ Jesus regardless of our positions or status in life and this is because of who He is our great God and Savior.
Revelation 1:5-6
5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 5:10
10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
*So, remember people of the world, the moment you came to Christ you were born kings. You were born royalty. Yes, you were born in the right family line.
Chapter 28. The moment you came to Christ you received by inheritance at least one of five available crowns.
James 1:12
12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
*So, remember people of the world, the moment you came to Christ you received by inheritance at least one of five available crowns, which is the crown of life.
Conclusion
Dear believer in Christ,
I've written this page to show you that your salvation is much deeper than you just being forgiven of your sins and you going to a place called heaven. God has so much in store for your future it is unfathomable for you to even begin to comprehend. The best is yet to come for the believer in Christ Jesus! For the word of God says "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him (1 Corinthians 2:9)." However even though God has prepared a glorious future for us believers in Christ, He God has also called us believers in Christ to suffer for a while in this world for Jesus' namesake. Because we are being conformed to the image of His Son Jesus, we will suffer because we proclaim and live the gospel. We suffer now like Christ did while he was on the earth, and we will be glorified later like he was after his suffering and death. Remember the words of our Lord and Savior, Jesus said "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)." Jesus said "and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen (Matthew 28:20)."
We as the children of God are aliens and foreigners in this world (Hebrews 11:13-14)(1 Peter 2:10-12). We will be outcasts; we will be persecuted for Jesus' namesake and some of us will be killed just for proclaiming and living out the gospel. When we suffer for righteousness or when we suffer for Jesus' namesake we will be rewarded by God. Our suffering is not in vain. All of this is written in the word of God. However, the bible still declares in all these things "we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:28-29)." For we have won this victory over this evil world and over the evil one through our faith in Christ Jesus. Read the word of God below.
1 John 5
Faith in the Son of God
1Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
May God continue to bless you child of God as you grow to know our precious Savior Jesus more and more through the word of God. Let us look at (2 Peter 1:1-3) below.
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.
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you all. Have a great and glorious day in the Lord.
