New Believer?

Now that you are a Christian, your life is different. You may not feel like a Christian every day, but following Jesus is not based on feelings. It’s based on the fact that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and that you have a relationship with him. The next step is get baptized and publicly declare your faith.

Romans 10:9 says, “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.” God always keeps His promises and He never goes back on his word. A promise is only as good as the person who makes it, and you can trust God. I Corinthians 1:9 says, “God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.” God will do what He said He will do. He’s reliable and trustworthy. He will not change his mind and kick you out of the family.

When you became a Christian, God sent the Holy Spirit to live in your heart. Ephesians 1:13-14 says that the Spirit is like a contractual seal. In Bible days, an official seal was placed on a contract between people to guarantee that it was legitimate. The Holy Spirit is proof that we have a relationship with God. The Holy Spirit is also a helper to us. John 14:26 tells us that the Holy Spirit is our advocate.

1 John 5:11-13 says that God wants you to be sure of your salvation. God wants you to be sure of your salvation and that you cannot lose it. You are part of his family, and He will never disown you. Once saved...always saved. You might still sin, because you are not perfect. You may have questions, doubts and concerns, but rest assured that if you have truly committed your life to God, then you are a Christian.
