What Next After Hearing the Truth That “Jesus Loves You”?
You are likely reading this as you have recently heard the most important truth anyone could ever hear. It says in John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free”.
The truth is this:“Jesus loves you”
I am writing this to give you recommendations of what you can do to learn more about the love of God for you, as you continue on your life-changing journey of faith in our Father.You have been chosen to be free, and who the Son sets free is free indeed.
1. Know deeply and truthfully that God loves you
He created you as a special, one-of-a-kind individual, and He has a special purpose and plan for your life. He wants you to live in victory. He wants you to experience and start living with the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, that will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
"Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:39
2. Expect that negative voice in your head to try and convince you that this isn’t the truth
That voice is from the great deceiver, the enemy of the truth. It is the voice of the devil. It is the voice that’s main intention is to keep people separated from believing in and experiencing the love of our Father.
Jesus said in John 10:10, “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”
It is the same voice that tries to fill our minds with lies and deceptions, some of which I have shared on this post here:
The Growing List of Lies & Deception From Satan
You also need to prepare yourself for people in your life who don’t currently know or believe that Jesus loves them, to try and make you doubt the truth. In time I pray that your family and friends will all come to learn the truth for themselves.
3. Download the free and easy to use Holy Bible app
I declare that this app will become the most important app on your phone. It allows you to read the living word of God, search for any challenges that you may be experiencing in your life, and choose to do Bible plans which bring together your day to day life with what God says about us and the world in the Bible.
4. When you are ready, pray this prayer to receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour
Through a personal relationship with our Creator — God — you can discover a way of life that will truly satisfy your soul.
No matter who you are, what you’ve done, or where you are in your life right now, God’s love and grace and greater than your sin (your mistakes). Jesus willingly gave His life so you can receive forgiveness from God and have new life in Him. He’s just waiting for you to invite Him to be your Lord and Saviour.
When you are ready to commit your life to Jesus and follow Him, so you can live with the peace of God which surpassess all understanding, all you have to do is ask Him to forgive your sins and give you a fresh start in the life you are meant to live.
Here is the prayer to receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour.
Lord Jesus, thank You for giving Your life for me and forgiving me of my sins so that I can have a personal relationship with You. I am sincerely sorry for the mistakes I’ve made, and I know I need You to help me live right. Your Word says in Romans 10:9 “If you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord (recognising His power, authority and majesty in God), and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved”.
I believe You are the son of God, and I confess You as my Saviour and Lord. Take me just as I am, and work in my heart, making me the person You want me to be. I want to live for You Jesus, and I am so grateful to You for giving me a fresh start in my new life with You today. I love You, Jesus! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
By reading this prayer out, you are inviting the Holy Spirit to come upon you and start to make often dramatic changes in your life. Here is more about the Holy Spirit and how you can invite it upon you more and more.

5. Begin listening to worship music
Whether you have Spotify, Amazon music or you just use YouTube, there is a huge range of beautiful worship music available to listen to.
On this post I have shared 7 profound songs, some of which may speak to you at this moment in your life:
Here is a link to a public playlist I have created and add to on YouTube containing some of the most significant songs I have been led to since coming into faith in 2019:
YouTube Faith Playlist With Over 300 Songs
Here is my public Spotify playlist too, containing over 100 worship songs.6. Begin realising that God is the God of miracles
Since I came to realise that Jesus loves us all and that we are all precious children of God in June 2019, I have been truly blessed by experiencing a wide range of miracles of God.
The miracles have been so real, I have video recorded them, I have photographed them, and I have shared them online for the world to see.
I pray that you reading and watching some of these will give you a glimpse of the wide range of beautiful, profound miracles that our Father performs — and most importantly for you to know that God wants to and will show you deeply his miracle-working powers in your life.
7. Get connected with a Holy Spirit led ministry
All these points are important, including this 7th one. Getting connected with other people like myself that have been set free is crucial. It says in Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”
At the time of writing, most churches are running online services. I am part of Revive Living Waters Ministry, and it is one which I can introduce you in to should you feel this could be good for you and your journey.
