When it comes to my salvation, all I need is Jesus; after my salvation, everything is Jesus plus the church… When people preach that all you need is Jesus, they cut you and I off from one of the greatest sources of healing, which is the body of Christ. Don’t go it alone – you won’t make it. ~ Josh McDowell
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

God offers the gift of salvation; it is your choice to accept it or not?
Would you like to know where you are going once you die? If you accept the free gift of salvation, you will know for sure.
Prayer for salvation is a prayer that turns your life around from not having faith in God, into a life that has confessed with your mouth and believed in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior of your life.
Just saying the words in a prayer for salvation are not magical words, but they can be your way of telling God that you are serious about following him in your life because of your new faith in Jesus Christ.

There are two kinds of prayers. One type is to ask God to help you or others. A different kind of prayer is one with an eternal perspective, which would be known as a prayer for salvation, the words do not save you, but Jesus Christ does when you accept Him as your Lord and Savior! ~ Bill Greguska
The Acrostic = (P.O.W.E.R.)
After you have received the gift of eternal life and have been made a new creation, you will want to grow in your knowledge of Jesus Christ and your obedience to Him. Jesus’ teaching about how to live for God can be summed up in the “POWER acrostic” and will help you to remember the essential elements of spiritual progress.
Pray.
Communication with God through prayer keeps your focus on eternal things. If you are truly following Jesus, your desires will be for God’s glory and His kingdom, the church, Jesus promised, “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you” John 15:7. The Christian who wants to grow communicates with God through prayer. He expresses his gratitude to Him, confesses his sins, and comes to Him with his requests for himself and others. God promises to be near to all who come to Him in prayer, Psalm 145:18.
Obey.
In John 14, Jesus said that our obedience to His commands is an indicator of our love for Him. We can’t do it in our own strength, however. That’s one of the reasons He gave us the Holy Spirit. As we yield to Him, the Spirit provides the power to walk in obedience. Galatians 5:16-25.
Worship.
Meeting regularly with other followers of Jesus Christ allows you to follow His example of love and to fulfill His command to “love one another…just as I have loved you,” John 13:34. Just as Jesus surrounded Himself daily with His disciples and followers, find a Bible-believing church where you can meet with other disciples of Jesus. There you will find joy, a community of worship, and encouragement in the fellowship of God’s people. A follower of Jesus Christ’s devotion to God is to be continuous. Privately, we should worship God in our thoughts and prayers Ps. 34:1. Publicly, we should unite with fellow believers in a local assembly to bring praise to God Ps. 111:1; Heb. 10:24-25.
Evangelize.
The good news of the gospel is to be shared. As well tell others what Christ has done for us, we will find ourselves growing by spiritual leaps and bounds Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15.
Read.
Jesus said, “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them; he is who loves me.” John 14:21. One way to show your love for God is to read the Bible and to live out your new life based on its teaching. Reach the Bible daily to learn how to live a life that honors God and gives testimony to others that Jesus has made a difference in your life. The most direct source of a Christian’s spiritual growth is the Bible. It must be read regularly (daily if at all possible) because it is his milk and strong meat 1 Peter 2:2; Heb. 5:12-14. It tells us how to live Ps. 119:105. It is God’s word to us today.
If you have accepted Christ as your Savior, you may be wondering, what happens if I sin after I’m saved? All followers of Jesus sin from time to time. But the good news is that Jesus’ death paid for all of your sins, both past, and future. If you humbly admit your sin to God and repent (turn away from sin), the Bible promises that God will forgive you and cleanse you from all your sins. Pray for God’s help to keep you from falling into sin again. Jesus assures us that “whoever comes to me I will never cast out” John 6:37. Your salvation is sure because Christ’s sacrifice of Himself on the cross is more significant than any sin.
You might also wonder!
What happens when I don’t feel close to God? Am I still saved? When a person has accepted the gift of salvation. Jesus describes His relationship with them as being like the relationship between a shepherd and his sheep: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.” John 10:27-28. Salvation is not based on your feelings or works, but on the fact that God has welcomed you into His family through repentance and faith in Jesus. Nothing on earth or in heaven can break that bond–nothing.
If you feel far away from God, examine your life to see if there is unconfessed, unrepentant sin standing between you and God. Continue to read the Bible and pray regularly, filling your mind with God’s truth and goodness. Talk with other disciples of Jesus and learn from their experiences. You will grow closer to God as your knowledge and experience of Him grow. Rest assured in the promise that no one can separate you from His love Romans 8:35-39
From now on, seek to live in such a way that in every part of your life, you declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light!
