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

No. All right. Sorry. Hey girl, where your host is? Did you read? No. No, no, no. Wait.
We are tapping into God's strength, not ours. Good. Okay, let's do that again. I guess.
No, that's good. That's good. We can keep that in. No, but I mean with all the talking that we do.
