First, let me say congratulations for making a truly wise decision, and welcome to the eternal family of God! Jesus said there is great rejoicing in heaven when one person turns from sin towards God!

The devil, however, isn't pleased at all! He will try to steal the joy of salvation from you - so that you will not live a productive life for the kingdom of God. I recommend that you take the following steps immediately before the enemy can distract you by outside events:

Affirmation of My Decision to Profess Jesus Christ

I, ____________________________________________, having believed the testimony of God concerning His Son, hereby affirm and certify that I have confessed with my mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and have called upon the name of the Lord in prayer to receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life by faith in Jesus Christ. Given this day:

at ______ on the _____ day of ________________, _______.

Signed by my own hand: _________________________________
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. (1 John 5:9-11 NKJV)
...that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved… Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:8-13 NIV)

  • Add this page to your bookmarks, or favorites, in your internet browser.
  • Read the web page on Assurance of Salvation because Satan will cast doubt about the validity of your faith.
  • Read the web page about Winning the Battle because the devil will try to destroy your faith.
  • In the next day or so, after the enemy has won a battle or two, come back and read the pages again. Take the time to read the scripture references!

Additionally, if you would be kind enough to do me a favor, please let me share in the joy of your decision by sending me an email: Robert, I have great news!
