TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION
If you were to die today, would you enter Heaven? Why delay making the most crucial decision regarding eternal life?
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
The idea of salvation, or being saved, is fundamental to Christianity. It functions on both a global, or cosmic, level and an individual level.
Salvation represents God's grace. It is the gift of liberation from our sins, made possible by Jesus taking the punishment for our sins on the cross. Through this gift, 1 John 1:9 assures us that “If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
You have committed yourself and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. You are prepared to move forward and live for God daily, whether at home, work, school, or anywhere else.
Here are some steps to guide you:
1. Read your Bible daily to nurture your faith. Begin with the Gospel of John.
2. Pray - Prayer is simply communicating with God each day.
3. Join a church that values the Bible. Fellowship with other believers is crucial. If you have difficulty finding one, feel free to contact us.
4. Water baptism represents a believer’s complete trust and reliance on Jesus Christ and a commitment to live obediently to Him. It also signifies unity with all believers (Ephesians 2:19), connecting with every person globally who is part of the Body of Christ (Galatians 3:27–28). Water baptism conveys this and more, but it is not what saves us. We are saved by grace through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8–9). We undergo baptism because our Lord commanded it: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
5. Share your journey and be a witness for Jesus through your everyday actions.
Remember, as a new person in Christ, the devil will attempt to make you doubt your salvation and question the reality of Christianity or whether God hears your prayers.
1 Peter 5:8 advises being sober and vigilant because your adversary, the devil, prowls like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
