What should I Do Now That I am a Christian
CONFESS JESUS

Read Romans 10:9-10
That if thout shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, though shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

In this verse, what am I to believe?
Believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins, was burred, and raised from the dead. When you truly believe this in your heart you will want to make the decision to keep his commandments by listening and learning to how tells you to live rightly, what to do and what not to do.

What am I saved from?
Saved from an eternity of living apart from God, and saved to an eternity of having your citizenship in heaven. When you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, as you just did, your name is written in the Book of Life, Rev 3:5 for Jesus will confess your name before God. In contrast, those who’s names are not written in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire Rev 20:15

CONFESS YOUR SINS BEFORE GOD

Read Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

We have all sinned. We need to fall on our knees and ask God to forgive us for our sins. This is called repentance.

Read I John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

He will forgive us. When he forgives us, we are dead to sin and by God’s grace, he makes us righteous and sets us apart from the rest of the world.

Read Romans 6:1-2
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Now God’s grace can abound in our life if we stop doing those things that we know are sin.

Did you know...
that there is great joy and rejoicing in heaven when you repent.
If you would like to read more about this go to Luke 15:7


LEARN HIS COMMANDMENTS

Read 2 Timothy 2:15
Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Study the bible, for therein are all the thing you need for life. Everything God wants you to do, and the way he wants you to behave are all here.

KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS

Read Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Though shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Read John 15:12
This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you.

Read Romans 13:8-10
... but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

ACCEPT GOD'S WONDERFUL GRACE

Read Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, not of words, lest any man should boast.

We are saved by grace - it is a gift from God. Those who believe they are going to heaven just because they do “good works” are mistaken. They must be saved, by grace, through Jesus Christ.

Read Acts 20:32
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

Now that you are God’s, his Grace will keep you. It will build you up to be a man/woman of strong character. It will provide for you an inheritance - citizenship in heaven for all eternity.

Read Ephesians 1:6-7
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.

By His grace we are accepted and redeemed by Jesus blood, and been forgiven our sins.
