Bible verse for new convert
Congratulations on your decision to follow Jesus! Here's a powerful Bible verse to encourage and guide you on your new journey:
Romans 8:1-2 (NIV) "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering and to settle a righteousness requirement for us."
This verse reminds you that:
- You are forgiven: Because of Jesus, you are no longer condemned or judged by your past mistakes. You are free from guilt and shame.
- You are set free: Through Jesus, you have been freed from the power of sin and death. You are now able to live a new life, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
- You are righteous: Jesus has settled the righteousness requirement for you, making you right with God. You are now a child of God, with a new identity and purpose.
As you begin your journey with Jesus, remember that you are loved, accepted, and forgiven. May this verse be a source of comfort, encouragement, and guidance as you grow in your faith.
