@Sarah-mariam Thank you for expanding what you need clarity about. After one receives salvation the first thing you should do is:
- Start reading the Bible every single day. (If you have not read it start in the Gospel of John.)
The second thing that should happen if you have received salvation is something we call “conviction”. This happens when we do something wrong (such as take the Lord’s name in vain - something that was a nearly impossible habit for me to break on my own) because the Holy Spirit is given to us when we are saved. If you feel no guilt or conviction (knowing you’re busted as soon as you sin - God sees all, even our thought life) then it’s possible that someone told you that you are saved without explaining it fully.
Just in case that happened, there is hope! See this:

The video is of a man named Ray Comfort who is a tireless street evangelist. He doesn’t yell at anyone. He’s loving, patient and willing to explain over and over to many people exactly why we even NEED salvation and then the way to approach God asking for it! Really good video of that. Listen as the man interviewed (Jose) listens. Pretend you’re him and let Ray teach you the truth from God’s Holy Word. Most of the time you can’t even tell Ray is quoting from the Bible, but he is. I’ve read it enough to recognize that most of what he says is God’s Word, not Ray Comfort’s word.
Praying God will draw you closer to Him!
P.S. The “motivation to live after gaining salvation to keep the laws of God for you?” is this: God creates in us a new heart with new desires when we are saved. As we read His Word (Bible) we begin to understand what has happened to us and what God wants and how what God wants can be accomplished. It is all about reliance, total reliance on and trust in, Jesus Christ not just as Savior but also as Lord of your life. He is rich in mercy and is humble in heart. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light!
If you don’t feel like the burden of God’s law is light, then really, please, watch the video for one very short and clear explanation so you can be saved and so that you can then be assured of heaven. (God never breaks His Word. Never.)
