I Just Gave My Life to the Lord

So you just accepted Christ?

Welcome to the family of God.
 You have made the most important decision of your life: to surrender to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

The Bible declares:

“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

What Just Happened?

1. You Are Saved
    Salvation is not earned — it is a gift of God through Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8–9)
   
   
2. You Are Forgiven
    Every sin you’ve ever committed has been washed away by the blood of Jesus. (1 John 1:9)
   
   
3. You Are a New Creation
    The old life is gone; you now live with a new identity in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
   
   
4. You Are Adopted into God’s Family
    You are no longer a stranger but a child of God. (Galatians 4:6–7)
   
   
5. You Are Sealed with the Holy Spirit
    The Spirit of God now dwells in you, guiding you, teaching you, and empowering you. (Ephesians 1:13–14)
   
   

What Are Your Next Steps?

1. Read God’s Word

The best way to grow is by spending time in Scripture. Start with the Book of John, which reveals the love of Christ and His plan of salvation.

2. Pray Daily

Prayer is simply talking with God — bringing your joys, struggles, and questions to Him. “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” (1 John 5:14)

3. Be Baptized in Water

If you have not yet been baptized, this is your next step. Baptism is the outward sign of the inward work Christ has done. (Acts 2:38)

4. Join the Church Community

Faith was never meant to be lived out alone. The early church thrived in fellowship (Acts 2:42–47). At Fresh Wind International, you can grow through Sunday worship, small groups, discipleship classes, and Bible studies — both in person and online.

5. Tell Someone About Your Decision

Share the good news of what Christ has done in your life. “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32)

Encouragement for the Journey

This is just the beginning. As you walk with Christ, He will transform your life day by day. Trust in His promises:

• “He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” (1 John 5:12)
  
  

• “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)
  
  

• “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
