You have taken a big step by coming to the point of realization that Jesus is the mediator who restores your relationship with God. You have prayed and asked Jesus to be the leader and director of your life. You’ve asked Him to forgive you for all the ways you’ve sinned against Him while living life on your own terms and you’ve committed to becoming more like Him. The very moment you asked Jesus to come into your life, He did. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness.
