1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:21,000 Hey girl, we’re your hosts Iz And Zi. And welcome or welcome back to the Forever GodGirl podcast. 2 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,500 Today we are going to talk about the question I just got saved. Now what? Yes, this is a 3 00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:33,000 very, very important question because after we get saved we need to know what to do, where 4 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000 to turn. And so firstly we need to talk about salvation and what does salvation really mean. 5 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,000 It's a free gift from God. It also means that we are forgiven from all our sins past, present, 6 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000 and future. And that we realize we need salvation because we are all sinners even if we think 7 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000 we're good people. Yes, because we all have cheated, lied, and stolen, among many other 8 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,500 things and in ways we don't even realize. We were also born with the barrier of sin so 9 00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:10,500 we can never actually have salvation before Jesus came and died on the cross for us. 10 00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:16,000 Yep. Salvation also means most importantly you accepted Jesus Christ into your heart as 11 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,000 your Lord and Savior. Amen! We have a scripture for that too. Romans 10 verse 9 through 10 12 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000 it says in the NLT, if you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart 13 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000 that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved for it is by believing in your heart 14 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000 that you are made right with God and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are 15 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,960 saved. True. This is a very powerful scripture because you know what? It talks about self 16 00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:50,960 salvation and it talks about how we have to openly declare and believe in our heart and 17 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:57,960 know what salvation is all about. And we firmly put our trust in Jesus Christ. Yes. So now 18 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:03,960 that we've talked about salvation and what that really means we have to talk about sanctification. 19 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:10,960 Huh? What is sanctification? It means that we are set apart and made holy by Christ. 20 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,960 It also means that we are becoming like Jesus every single solitary day. Becoming sanctified 21 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,960 is what God does to make us pure. Just take the Israelites, the nation of Israel. They were 22 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:28,960 set apart by God as his choice nation and they were to act like that but they didn't. 23 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,960 But since we have something they didn't, we have salvation and we have Jesus, it gives 24 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:41,960 us more of an opportunity to become more like Christ and to become sanctified. That means 25 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:47,960 we operate in the fruits of the spirit. What are the fruits of the spirit, Psy? Love, joy, 26 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:54,960 peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control. We have to 27 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,960 remember this because sanctification only comes from Jesus. If we are trying to do it in our 28 00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:04,960 own strength then we are faking it and when trials come we can't be like him. We will 29 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:11,960 plummet. Plummet so far down but don't be discouraged because when we have Jesus and 30 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,960 when we have his Holy Spirit from being saved we can operate and choose to enable him so 31 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:23,960 that we can always work into the fruits of the spirit. So lastly we have to actually 32 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:30,960 answer the question, what do you do after you get saved? Go spread the gospel. Tell everyone 33 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,960 that Jesus is Lord and that not only did he fix me but he can also fix you. And not only 34 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,960 did he die for you but he died for them too. Yep, this is so important to know because 35 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,960 when we know who Jesus is, what he did for us and the authority that we have in his name, 36 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:54,960 we can be strong Christian girls. We can be forever God girls. After we get saved we also 37 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:01,960 have to think about ways we actually use the fruit of the spirit. Oh, like grapes, apples, 38 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:09,960 oranges, pear? Well, no but you can also think of it that way. See when we eat fruit, actual 39 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,960 fruit, we get a good outcome and when we eat the fruit of the spirit we also get a good 40 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:21,960 outcome. But we have to know what kind of fruit we bear. Are we bearing good fruit or bad 41 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,960 fruit? And when we have the Holy Spirit we're always bearing good fruit. And Apple Day keeps 42 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:34,960 the doctor away, the fruit of the spirit makes me go beyond the limit. Yeah, something like 43 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:41,960 that. Now it's time for the special segment with is and I. In today's special segment we are 44 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:48,960 going to be doing a mini Q&A to get to know you a little bit better and for you to get to 45 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,960 know us a little bit better as well. Zai, who was the first person you told after you were 46 00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:02,960 saved? That would be my grandparents. Well, since we're sisters it was my grandparents 47 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,960 as well. We were so excited to tell them that we had just gotten saved that we practically 48 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,960 ran out of the house and got in their car to go to church and we told them, Nana, Papa, 49 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,960 we gave our lives to Christ, which was so exciting for us. And then the day after Sunday 50 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,960 when I went to school I went and told all my friends that I just got saved because I was 51 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,960 so excited. If you haven't gotten saved, we invite you to give your heart to Christ. Go 52 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,960 to Romans 10, 9 through 10. It says that if you confess with your mouth, below Jesus and 53 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,960 believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with 54 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:46,960 the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 55 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,960 If you said this prayer with sincerity, you are saved and now have a total life with Jesus. 56 00:05:52,960 --> 00:06:00,960 You are saved from all your sins, past, present, and future sins you may commit. Now this truth 57 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,960 is not a free past to sin anytime. Instead, Jesus gives you power over all wrong choices 58 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:14,960 and empowers you to spread the gospel to others. You are saved forever and your name is written 59 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,960 in the book of life. Did you receive Christ into your heart? If you did, give yourself 60 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,960 a pat on the back. You are now saved. Before we leave this podcast episode, I want to read 61 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:33,960 one last scripture for you. Galatians 2 verse 20, it says, I have been crucified with Christ. 62 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:39,960 It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, 63 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,960 I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself to me. Do you hear that? 64 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,960 To be crucified with Christ means to be sanctified. And now that you are saved, you can start 65 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:56,960 on your sanctification journey and become more like Christ every single day. Thank you so 66 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,960 much for listening to this podcast episode. We hope it helped you and we hope that you 67 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,960 learned something.
