Now that you asked Jesus to be your Savoir...

Ok, I've prayed the prayer and asked Jesus to be my savior, so what do I do now?"

John 1:12 says "As many as received him (Jesus), to them gave he the power to become Sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."

Galatians 4:4-7 - "God sent forth His Son...that we might receive the adoption of sons...and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ."

Revelation 21:7 - "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son"

2 Corinthians 5:17 - "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things are become new."

WOW!
To be a child of God...and you are! If you believe that Jesus died for your sins and asked Jesus to forgive your sins and be your savior, you have been adopted as a son by Almighty God! You are a new creature in God's eyes! ALL things have passed away and ALL things have become as new. Jesus compared the new birth experience to the wind, which can be heard and felt, but not seen. We do not see God, nor do we see our sins being taken away and forgotten, but when we sincerely repent and confess our sins to Jesus and by faith believe that He has forgiven us, what a feeling of relief!

The next thing you need to do is confess it to someone with your mouth. Tell somebody! Romans 10:9 says "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" Tell someone "I am saved!"

It also says in the Bible that you need to be Baptized. It is how you symbolize being taken into the grave with Jesus and rising with Him cleansed from your sins!


"What's this about baptism and why do I need to do it?"

Well, first of all, in Acts 2:38 after Peter spoke he was asked by the crowd "what should we do?" and he replied "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost"

Notice that you have the first one down... you have repented of your sins and asked Jesus to forgive your sins. Now it's time to get baptized. This is a wonderful experience, too! You are proclaiming to everyone that you have made the decision to follow Jesus.

Baptism is the re-enactment of going down into the grave with Jesus (when He died for you) and then rising again cleansed from sin and unrighteousness (just like when He rose from the dead). Colossians 2:12 says "Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead."

When you read through the book of Acts, everywhere you see someone get saved, they get baptized right after. Acts 2:41, Acts 8:12, Acts 8:35-36, Acts 8:38-39, Acts 16:29-33

Jesus told the disciples in Matthew 28:19 to preach the gospel to all nations and baptize them.

Since the Bible talks so much about baptism, we should probably take notice. While there is nothing that you can "do" that will save your soul, the Bible, which is God's Word, makes it clear that we should be baptized. This symbolizes that you are identified with Christ and the family of God.

Most any church would be happy to baptize you and help you proclaim your salvation.
