I’m Saved! What Comes Next?
What do we do after we have received Jesus Christ as Savior?
After Salvation, Then What?
First of all find fellowship in a loving (Christian Church- Hopefully, Spirit-Filled Full Gospel Church), remember we are not perfect. however, as we grow through the word/Bible we will become by faith and obedience more Christ-like.
As you may see when we become offended by a believer we are called not to pass judgment, as we should pray for them, and help them overcome their own issues.
Stay Away From Non-Christian Organizations
Remember there are organizations that will try to mislead you with a false Jesus, such as the Mormon and Jehovah Witness organizations. These are cults, and not of the one true living God. One of the simplest ways I believe to discern these cults is to understand God is timeless, so there are no timeframes put on Prophecies. These two temples’ book is saturated with this and has not come to pass within their man-made dates and has caused a major fallout through time.
After we have believed in Christ for everlasting life with God, we are commanded to do two things:
-
“[To keep on being] filled with the Spirit,” (Ephesians 5:18b, NASB)
-
“[and to] grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 3:18a, KJV)-But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.“until we all attain the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;” (Ephesians 4:13-14, NASB)
“[for] we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.” (Romans 12:5, CSB)-until we all attain the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming“[We], speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” (Ephesians 4:15-16, NKJV)-but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
I Am Saved So What Are The Next Steps To Lead Me Into My Walk And Growth
The Members of The Body as The Body of Christ
“For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, although they are many, are one body, thus also Christ. For by one Spirit, we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or [Gentiles], whether slaves or free persons, and all were made to drink one Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:12-13, LEB)-Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers, and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
“For, in fact, the body is not one member but many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. And if they were all one member, where would the body be? But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” ” (1 Corinthians 12:14-21, NKJV)-For in fact the body is not one member but many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. And if they were all one member, where would the body be? But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
The Importance of The Members of The Body
“Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked:” (1 Corinthians 12:22-24, KJV)-Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: and those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked
“so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.” (1 Corinthians 12:25-26, NASB)-so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
