Now What?

     You may have made the most important decision of your life, to accept Jesus Christ as Savior. I pray this sacrificial price he paid, the gift of grace he offers and the hope of life everlasting will fill you each day with peace and joy and blessed assurance.

     I want to relieve your mind with the “Now What?” question. After we are saved, as we saw yesterday, the Holy Spirit moves into our lives. The very Spirit of our loving God seals us and fills us. Now, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, God continues to work in us.

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you, will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6

     The Word of God will continue its work as we read and study. Nothing has added more to my life than the Bible. It is a living breathing testimony to Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. And somehow, miraculously, over time, we begin to grow in the image of Christ. The Bible becomes like a mirror, in which we begin to see ourselves and the beauty of Jesus within us! And as we grow, he moves us from glory to glory.

And we all, with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18

     Our lives are precious and short, even if we live to be 100. Having an eternal perspective and following Jesus, gives us purpose and hope. Keep asking for his love to guide you, for his Spirit to fill you and thank him for giving you eternal life. Read the word of God faithfully and he will continue his good work in you. I will continue praying for you. Hear this benediction of blessing from the word of God.

The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
