Good morning,
What happens when a person believes in the Lord Jesus Christ? Instantly, their lives are changed.
How they are changed will be our focus for the next several weeks.
We will look at what happens when a sinner gets saved, in relation to God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and between each other.
Some of the things that happen once a sinner is saved are as follows…
In Relation to God the Son
24) He receives a blessed hope – Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; (Titus 2v13) Notice, he does not hope he’s saved. He received the blessed hope, & the blessed hope is that Christ is coming to get us – Rev 22v20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Jesus Christ is the blessed hope. He is coming to get us. He is going to take us to heaven to be with Him for all eternity. We patiently await His soon arrival.
25) He comes into fellowship with the Trinity. John wrote… That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1 John 1v3
God wants to have fellowship with us.
26) We gain a mansion in glory – In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14v2
Jesus Christ is preparing a place for each of us. He wants us to be with Him. He has committed His time and resources so we will welcome when we arrive in heaven.
At the moment we received Christ as personal Lord and Savior, God gave us everything we would need to be successful.
