Steps you take after accepting Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior

Having accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are now welcomed into the family of God as a brother or sister of the Lord. You have been blessed with eternal life and can now experience the unconditional love and forgiveness of God. You can now be assured of a place in His Kingdom and the hope of eternal life.
You are not alone in this journey; you have the entire Church family to support you. It is important to remember that you are not alone, and that God is always with you. God will never leave you nor forsake you. He will always be there for you, in good times and in bad. He will give you the strength to face any challenge. Lean on Him and trust in Him. He will always be there for you. He will give you the courage and faith to persevere. He will be your source of comfort and peace. He will give you the courage to face any obstacle. He will always be with you.  Jesus Christ becomes your Lord and Savior as soon as you accept Him as your Savior. He promises to forgive your sins and give you eternal life. He will also give you the peace and joy that comes from knowing you are saved. He will be with you every step of the way, Your body is then filled with the Holy Spirit.
 
 
 The Holy Spirit guides you and gives you the strength to do what is right. He will also give you the strength and courage to face any challenge that comes your way. He will always be with you, providing comfort and hope. The Holy Spirit is the guiding force, the “spirit” with power to change your life from what it was to what it now can be, and it now resides in you.  Through the Holy Spirit, you are empowered to accomplish things you are not able to accomplish on your own.With the Holy Spirit’s help, you can live a life of faith and courage. He is the source of all your strength and hope. Let him guide you and inspire you.  
 
 
Prior to his ascension into heaven, Jesus reminded his disciples that there would be another advocate for them: “If you love me, keep my commands.” The Holy Spirit is our helper and comforter, and he will always be with us. He will help us to live a life of faith and courage, and he will guide and inspire us. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you” (John 14:15-17 NIV). 
 
The Holy Spirit has now been granted to you as a Christian, and he serves as your advocate as well. He will guide you in your decisions and provide comfort in times of distress. He will also help to protect you from evil and temptation. He is your constant companion and friend. He is also your source of strength and courage. He will help you to stay on the right path and to achieve your goals. He will lead you to be the person you want to be. He will love you unconditionally and will never leave you. He will be with you until the end of time. He will be your rock and your shelter. He will be your protector and your guide. He will be your source of peace and hope.
 

 

The Bible says, “The power of faith comes from hearing, and so we must also work on our minds to be tuned up with God’s word in order to spread it. We can then share this knowledge with others, allowing them to experience the power of faith and build their own relationship with God. This can help us to create a more just and equitable society. This can also help us to become more compassionate and understanding towards others, creating a more loving and harmonious environment. Additionally, it can inspire people to be kinder and more compassionate towards each other. “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” (Romans 10:17 NIV)
