ONCE SAVED, THEN WHAT?

I believed the Gospel message which says, Christ died for my sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:3-4)!  And because I have believed with all my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and because I have confessed with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord, I am saved (Rom. 10:9-10)!  Now what?

Now, I have the responsibility to follow the Lord by being baptized according to His command (Mt. 28:19-20; Acts 2:38; 10:48)!

Now, as a new borne babe in Christ, I need to "feed" upon God's Word (Mt. 4:4; 1 Pet. 2:2)!

Now, as one who is dependent upon God, I need to come to Him in prayer (Lk 18:1; 1 Thes. 5:17; Heb. 4:16)!

Now, I need to find a Bible-believing and Bible-teaching church to be accountable to the rest of the Body of Christ; that through the Word, they might teach me true doctrine, reprove me, correct me, and instruct me in righteousness (Acts 2:42; 2 Tim. 3:16; Heb. 10:24-25)!

Now, I need to confess my sins, which break fellowship with God, and allow Him to cleanse me from all unrighteousness (1 Jn. 1:8-10).  God is righteous and cannot fellowship with those having unconfessed sin (2 Cor. 6:14)!

Now, I need to share the Gospel with other (Ps. 107:2; Prov. 11:30; Mt. 10:32; Rom. 10:9-10)!

Now, I need to live my life in such a way as to glorify God (Mt. 5:16; Acts 1:8; Col. 3:17; 4:5-6; 1 Pet. 3:15)!

Because I believe in Christ, I need to depart from iniquity (2 Tim. 2:19)!
