10 Lesson Bible Study
So what is life after Salvation like? I find a good church to attend? I join the choir, the softball team, go on a mission trip, and put money in the offering? Oh wait, and read a daily Bible devotion sent to my phone each morning?
Not exactly! Life after Salvation should be a life based on a close, personal friendship with your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Life with Jesus is about building a life full of faith, forgiveness, peace, happiness, prosperity, hope, and healing! You know, all of the things Jesus died to give to you and me!
Jesus himself described life after Salvation as being comparable to a building project. How exciting is that? How detailed is that? I mean, a lot of thought, ideas, dreams, planning, focus, interests, and blood, sweat, and tears go into a building project! So, let's get started and break ground; our foundation is waiting!

LESSON 1
What is Salvation?
––––––––
I was raised Catholic. So, I had heard of being confirmed and catechism, but I had no idea what being born again even referred to. I had never even heard the word saved until I was almost thirteen years old and started attending a small public school in a community that was predominantly Christian but not Catholic. The first question other students asked me was, “Where does your family go to church?” When I told one classmate I was Catholic, I thought she was going to start crying. She asked, “Well are you saved?” I had no idea what being saved even was so another classmate tried to explain it to me. None of it made any sense to me. The only thing that made sense to me was that you went to Mass on Sunday. I did not know what you had to do to be saved but I did know what you had to do to be Catholic and that was good enough for me, at least for the next several years.
Then, when I was seventeen years old, the Lord began to deal with my heart and I came under great conviction. However, at the time, I did not even understand what conviction was. I just knew that something was not right in my life and I felt an overwhelming desire to go to church for some reason. So, I went to church with a friend. I knew something needed to change in my life but I did not know exactly what or how to make it happen. My friend tried to explain to me that I was convicted of my sins and the Lord was drawing me to be saved. There that word was again, the word that I did not understand.
I began asking some serious questions like; what does it mean to be saved? How do you get saved? What do you do after you go to the altar to get saved? But for some reason, I just could not grasp this concept of Salvation. So, I came up with a different plan. I decided since I did not understand what being saved was and I did not know how to do it, I would just start going to church and doing right from this point forward. I thought it sounded like a great plan but the Lord was not going to let that happen because his Spirit was drawing me to the plan of Salvation not to a lifestyle of church attendance. When I realized that I could not just start acting saved by going to church, I became frustrated and simply gave up; a decision I later regretted.
Five years later my life was not, let’s say, happy. I had tried everything within myself to become a good person. To be a good friend, a good wife, a good mother, a good employee, but regardless of how hard I tried, I found myself failing at everything I was trying to accomplish. I was emotionally in a very dark place and consumed with desperate feelings of hopelessness! One night, I was in my bedroom sitting on the edge of my bed crying. I felt like a thousand pounds of heavy weight was on top of my shoulders pushing me down, down, down. I cried out loud, “I can’t change myself!” Instantly, I felt like Jesus was standing behind me saying, “You don’t have to.” Immediately the weight was lifted from my shoulders and I felt lighter than I had in years and my heart was full of a hope that I had never experienced before!
