You Are Saved. What Now?
You confessed Jesus as Lord. Heaven has recorded your name. Here are four simple steps to begin your walk with God.
Know That It Is Finished
The biggest trap for a new believer is doubting their salvation because they don't "feel" different. Salvation is not a feeling; it is a fact based on the promise of God. Your sins are forgiven—past, present, and future. You cannot earn it, and you cannot lose it when your faith is in Christ.
Read His Word Daily
The Bible is how God speaks to you. It is your daily bread. Don't start at the very beginning (Genesis) just yet. Start in the Gospel of John. It was written specifically so that you might believe and have life in His name. Read a little bit every day, and ask God to give you understanding before you open it.
Talk to God (Prayer)
Prayer isn't a performance. You don't need fancy words, and you don't need to be in a church building. Prayer is simply talking to your Heavenly Father. Tell Him your fears, thank Him for His grace, and ask Him for guidance. He is always listening.
Find a Bible-Believing Church
You weren't meant to walk this out alone. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to a solid, grace-preaching, Bible-believing church. You need fellowship with other believers who can teach you, encourage you, and hold you up when times get tough.
