CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE NOW AN ADOPTED CHILD OF GOD!

You truly don't have to do one other thing. You are saved forever! There are a lot of ways to grow in your faith though. For now, just celebrate! You were made in the perfect image of God, and now you’ve been born again into God’s eternal family! (John 3:3) May this new year of life be filled with God’s love, peace, and joy as you walk with Jesus. I’m so excited for all that He has in store for you—this is just the beginning of an incredible journey!"

Your salvation is secure because it’s based on God’s promise, not your feelings or performance. Jesus said in John 10:28, ‘I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.’ If you have placed your trust in Christ, you belong to Him forever—nothing can separate you from His love! (Romans 8:38-39)

God’s Word is your daily spiritual food—just like you need meals to stay physically strong, you need the Bible to grow in your faith! Psalm 119:105 says, ‘Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.’ As you read, you’ll get to know God’s heart, His promises, and His guidance for your life. Start with the Gospel of John and ask God to speak to you—He will! Visit DesiringGod.com

Prayer is simply talking with God—He loves to hear from you! Philippians 4:6 says, ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.’ You can come to Him with your joys, struggles, and questions, knowing He listens and cares. Just start talking—He’s always there!

God didn’t design us to walk this journey alone! Hebrews 10:25 encourages us, ‘Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another.’ A Bible-believing church will help you grow in faith, find support, and worship alongside other believers. Ask God to lead you to the right church, and surround yourself with people who will encourage you in your walk with Christ! Visit coe22.com

Baptism is a beautiful way to publicly show your faith in Jesus! Romans 6:4 says, ‘We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.’ Baptism symbolizes your old life being buried and your new life in Christ beginning. It doesn’t save you, but it’s an act of obedience and a powerful declaration that you belong to Jesus!

Your testimony is powerful! Mark 16:15 says, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.’ You don’t have to know all the answers—just share what Jesus has done in your life. A simple way is to tell others what your life was like before Christ, how you came to trust Him, and how He’s changed you. Your story could be the encouragement someone else needs to find salvation in Him!

Following Jesus is the greatest decision you’ll ever make, but it doesn’t mean life will always be easy. John 16:33 reminds us, ‘In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.’ Challenges will come, but you are never alone—Jesus is with you, strengthening and guiding you. Stay in His Word, pray, and trust that He will use every trial to grow your faith and draw you closer to Him!

Salvation is just the beginning—God wants you to keep growing in your faith! 2 Peter 3:18 says, ‘But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.’ Keep reading the Bible, praying, and surrounding yourself with other believers. The more you seek Jesus, the more He will shape you into the person He created you to be. Trust that He is working in you every day! Try listening to air1.com
