WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW=>
If you have received Jesus christ as your personal savior/saviour, you can be certain of these things: => YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD.
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name"(john 1:12). YOU ARE FORGIVEN & JUSTIFIED. "He hase forgiven you all your trespasses"(Col. 2:13);" Justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus"(Rom. 3:24). YOU HAVE NEW LIFE FROM GOD. "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2Cor. 5:7). YOU ARE SAVED FOR ETERNITY. "He who hears My words & believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, & shall not come into judgement, but has passed from death into life" (John 5:24). THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES IN YOU. "Having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance" (Eph. 1:13-14). YOU HAVE PEACE WITH GOD. "Having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Rom.5:1). These things establish your eternal position before God. However, at any time, your present spiritual condition depends on your practical obedience to His word that's God's word.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Below are several things you can do to please God and grow spiritually. OPENLY CONFESS CHRIST BEFORE MEN. "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from dead, you will be saved" (Rom. 10:9). BE BAPTIZED. "Make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" ( Mattew 28:19). The new believer should respond as the Ethopian did after hearing the gospel: " What hinders me from being baptized?" ( Acts 8:36). SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO GOD. "Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you" (Jer. 7:23). Make this commitment: By the grace of God, I will do anything and go anywhere the Lord desires.Thanx 4 that...
