I Timothy 3:15-17 And that from a child you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly furnished to all good works.
Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things beforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the hearts. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him.
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of God stands forever.
BEING SAVED MEANS YOU HAVE REPENTED FROM YOUR SIN AND CONFESSED TO GOD THAT YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED AND RESURECTED FOR YOUR SINS SO THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED THROUGH HIS BLOOD. (ROMANS 10:9-13)BE AWARE THAT A TRUE CHRISTIAN RENOUNCES THE UNGODLY PLEASURES OF THE WORLD AND THAT YOU ARE CALLED TO BE A DISCIPLE WHO IS WILLING TO TAKE HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW AFTER JESUS. THIS IS THE FRUIT OF REPENTANCE. READ WHAT BOTH APOSTLES JAMES AND JOHN WROTE:
James 4:4,7-10 Adulteres and adulteress! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God...Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
LAMENT, MOURN, AND WEEP (STOP ENJOYING SIN) IF YOU PROFESS CHRIST AS LORD.
I John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world, the cravings of a sinful man, the lust of his eyes, and the boasting/pride of what he has and does comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN AND HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW AFTER CHRIST, SEEK A CHURCH WHERE THE BIBLE IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY FOR DOCTRINE AND CHRIST IS PREACHED AS THE GOD-MAN. BE BAPTIZED TO CONFESS CHRIST PUBLICLY AND ATTEND REGULARLY THE CHURCH (HAVE FELLOWSHIP). READ THE BIBLE EVERYDAY AND SEEK TO READ IT IN CONTEXT. WHEN YOU READ THE BIBLE YOU WILL NOTICE THAT CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO BE HOLY AND GROW IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD. THIS IS ALSO HOW WE GET TO KNOW BETTER OUR CREATOR . AS YOU STUDY THE BIBLE, YOU WILL HAVE DESIRE TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT JESUS.
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the Day is approaching.
Matthew 10:32-33 Whoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father which is in heaven. But whoever shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before My Father which is in heaven.
Romans 1:16-19 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who supress the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for He has shown it unto them...
