Years ago I felt like you. I believed Jesus and his words, but what next.
Two things happened to me. I started in my bedroom to list Gods attributes, who He was and what He did. I praised Him for the blessing He had been to me and my life. My heart lifted. I had confessed my faith and walked in fellowship.

I was praying in a group and I saw the immensity of the creator in my mind. How from this immensity the Lord became a man, Jesus, and then this man Jesus died for me and everyone who believed in Him, and then rose again. My heart trembled and was moved.

Over the next year of so the Lord showed me my standards and level of failure and then His determination and success.
I am only a follower, but he won my heart. He simple said if you follow and believe you are saved.
The eternal part is not so important to me now just the knowing the King of Creation. Spend time doing what you believe, praying, praising, confessing, reading and fellowshiping, then you will grow and experience more of His glorious riches.

Someone posted what i wrote in my bio that i wrote i was saved at birth. Didnt everyone here know there was a God when they were very young. I can never remember a time when i did not believe. Maybe thats why i wrote that. Didnt study about it till recently. Maybe you can answer me a question

ROMANS 8 [24] For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?[25] But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Can you name a certain day you were saved? If so....what do hope for?

Romans 18But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART "-- that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.…0:


You cannot profess with your mouth when you were born. Babies cant talk.

I was saved May, 1980 on the day of Pentecost. It was pretty exciting to go to church that day, and tell people that Jesus had saved me. It was incredible. God has never left or forsaken me, no matter whether my heart has strayed a bit, or not. Instead, he just keeps transforming and sanctifying me every day, and leading me closer to him.

Are you a Catholic? Is it because you were baptized as a baby, you think you were a Christian and that you can lose your salvation?

Here is what the Bible says:

"because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved." Romans 10:9-10

"Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” Acts 2:37-39
