The Urgent Call… Our Plea to You
“Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20).
Sin shattered humanity’s relationship with God, but reconciliation through Christ restores it.
My friend, I plead with you today—do not put this off. Eternity is a long, long time to be wrong. God loves you deeply, yet your sin separates you from Him, and without Christ you will stand under His wrath and rightful judgment. But in His mercy, God sent His Son, Jesus, to die in your place to pay the penalty for you sins so you wouldn’t have to. By God’s grace and through the death and resurrection of Christ, the way is open: you can be forgiven, reconciled, and receive eternal life.
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
Just to be clear—
Nobody is born a Christian. The flesh does not produce redemption. You don’t inherit it from your parents, nor do you magically become one over time.
A Christian is not simply someone who believes in God. Even the demons believe—and tremble.
It’s not just joining and attending a church, following religious traditions, or even getting baptized in a group setting without even hearing about sin or grace or repentance or faith or surrendering your life to Jesus.
Everybody does not go to heaven when they die. Some are traveling on the broad road which leads to destruction. You won’t get there because you “think you’re a good person.” Only God is perfectly good—and perfectly good is the standard we all fall short of.
We do not become angels, we do not “get our wings,” and we will not be reunited with unbelieving family or friends in heaven.
There are not millions of ways to be saved—only one. Works can’t save you. Your family and friends can’t save you and you certainly can’t save yourself.
Salvation comes only by the grace of the one true, living Creator God—through genuine repentance (Acts 3:19) and saving faith (Romans 10:9–10) in Jesus Christ.
Right now, Jesus stands ready to forgive you, to cleanse you, and give you eternal life .
“At the acceptable time I listened to you,
And on the day of salvation I helped you.”
Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation”— (2 Corinthians 6:2)
You may never have another moment like this.
Please do not live here and leave here without Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Do not experience the second death. Too many people do! And eternity is a long, long time to be wrong!
As the scripture says, “Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.” (Paul in Romans 10:13 taken from the OT; Joel 2:32)
It is God’s will that you be saved.
Read His Word daily so that the Holy Spirit might use it to draw you near. Start with the Gospel of John – it tells us of Jesus Christ, the greatest life ever lived, and what He has done for us. Review the clear presentation of the gospel message, over and over.
Be persistent—keep calling, keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking, keep praying.
Remember Jesus’ promise: If sinful human parents still give good gifts out of love, how much more will a perfectly good Father gladly give His own Spirit—His presence, power, and help—to His children who ask and keep asking? (adapted from Luke 11:13)
A Call to Surrender to Christ!
But it is imperative for you to understand that because of the curse and consequences of sin we are all born “not saved,” lost, without faith in Christ— spiritually “dead” in our sin, and condemned without hope.
But God knew that Adam would sin and even before time began, He had a plan to restore the relationship with humanity that was broken due to sin.
We are all sinners and have fallen short of God’s perfect standard of righteousness— His glory, and there is a penalty to be paid for that.
Because of God’s wrath, the powerful and just anger of a holy God, and His rightful judgment, the penalty for all sinners is death (spiritual and physical), separation from God and eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
Either you must pay the penalty for your sin or someone else pays it for you. But God’s justice required that the person paying your penalty must be sinless. There was not one perfect, sinless human being alive at that time who could do that.
So that sinless human being had to be God Himself— God incarnate, God in human form, truly God and truly human. So, God did what only He could do. He added humanity to His deity and God himself through His Son Jesus Christ, born in a miracle virgin birth, became that perfect, sinless substitute, “the perfect lamb,” who took your punishment and died in your place so you wouldn’t have to.
And on the third day God raised Him from the dead in a victory over sin, death, Satan and all the powers of darkness. The resurrection is proof of God’s acceptance of Christ’s sacrifice and the guarantee of eternal life to all who genuinely repent and put their faith and trust in Him.
When you hear or read a clear presentation of the gospel message, the Holy Spirit begins His unique work. In His timing, He shines sufficient light into the darkness of your sin, where you are naturally unwilling and even unable to believe. The Holy Spirit draws you to Himself, unblinds your eyes, “tugs on” and softens your hardened heart, opens your mind and “convicts you about the guilt of sin, the punishment for it, your need for a Savior and about righteousness and judgment.” He then does a supernatural work of grace to reverse your unwillingness or ignorance and releases you from the bondage of your sin leading you to genuine repentance and enables you to come to faith in Christ.
By God’s grace and through your repentance and faith in Christ, the Holy Spirit transforms you into a spiritual rebirth, where you are “born again” (born for a second time), as a new creation Christ. Your old sinful self has been crucified with Him on the cross, the old you no longer exists and everything about you is made new— a new heart, a new mind, a new way of thinking, a new way of acting and reacting, a new attitude, a new Christlike character and identity and a new way of living your life and a new hope, a living hope for eternal life in Jesus Christ!
You have been declared righteous before the one true Holy God through the righteousness of Jesus and your identity is made complete and whole for the first time and for all time— from a sinner separated from God to a beloved child of God and joint-heir of eternal life— a Christian, a born again believer and follower of Jesus Christ, no longer identifying as who you are and what you have done, but by “whose” you are in Christ and what He has done for you. Your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Jesus Christ is the one true, sovereign God with all authority in heaven and on earth. To receive His grace, you must fully surrender to his authority and his will for your life.
And one day Jesus is coming back, this time as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, to bring history to its proper conclusion. And on that day, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for who you are and what you have done for me. Let your will be done, in my life— nothing more, nothing less and nothing else.
Repentance and faith are the necessary responses you must make to God’s gracious offer of salvation. They are inseparable, two sides of the same coin and linked in scripture, yet distinct acts that work hand-in-hand. Both are gifts of God’s grace, and neither is possible without the work of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus first preached the gospel in Galilee, saying: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15). Repentance and faith.
This is the human side of salvation—called conversion—where with a Godly sorrow you change your thinking about sin with a decisive turn from sin and to God in order to restore your relationship with Him, and place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ for who He is and what He has done for you through His death and resurrection which results in righteous living. (1 Thessalonians 1:9).
This turning leads to the divine side of salvation called regeneration (spiritual rebirth) and justification, where through your faith in Christ, God credits the perfect righteousness of Jesus to you, acquits you of all guilt and declares you innocent, removes your status as His enemy, and declares you to be in right standing with Him—fully pardoned and accepted.
By repentance, you give glory to your Creator, God the Father, whom you have offended over and over. By faith, you give glory to your Redeemer, God the Son, Jesus Christ, who came to save you from your sins.
It requires total surrender to His authority and will for your life, as you repent and confess your faith in Jesus.
Applying Romans 10:9-10
Paul says if these are genuinely true of you — confession with the mouth, belief in the heart — then the Holy Spirit grants you faith and you are saved.
Have you genuinely repented of you sins? Are you ready to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and completely surrender to His authority and submit to His will for your life?
Do you confess Jesus as Lord, the one true, sovereign God with all authority in heaven and on earth?
Do you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, conquering sin, death, hell, Satan and all the powers of darkness and to grant you eternal life?
If you do— according to scripture— YOU ARE SAVED! Completely forgiven (Ephesians 1:7), reconciled to God through the righteousness of Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21), made a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), indwelled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13–14), and given eternal life which begins immediately upon salvation (John 17:3).

If you are ready to surrender your life to Jesus Christ—to put your faith and trust in Him as your Lord, Savior, and Master—and to receive His gift of eternal life, then come to Him now.
The Good News is this: sinners can be reconciled to God, escape eternal punishment, and receive eternal life only through genuine repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
God alone is the One who saves. Ask Him—plead with Him—to save you. Your eternity is at stake.
Let the plea of David become your own humble prayer, with a broken spirit and a contrite heart:
O God, have mercy on me, a sinner, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. (Psalm 51:1)
I confess that “Jesus is Lord,” the one true, sovereign God with all authority in heaven and on earth and I submit to His authority and will for my life, and I believe in my heart that He died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins and was raised Him from the dead to grant me eternal life.
Forgive me of my sins, fill me with your Holy Spirit, deliver me from the darkness of my sin and give me new life in Jesus Christ.
If these are genuinely true of you — confession with the mouth, belief in the heart — then the Holy spirit grants you faith. You are saved!

Praise God!
The Evidence of Your Salvation
How will you know that you know that you know you are saved?
- The inner testimony of the Holy Spirit giving assurance of your salvation and adoption into God’s family. “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” (Romans 8:16)
- The outward fruit of transformation—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22–23); the characteristics of Jesus.
- A changed life—turning from sin and growing in Christlikeness (Matthew 3:8; 2 Corinthians 3:18).
The visible proof of “real salvation” is a transformed life!
There are two things by which the true Christian is defined:
By what you believe and by whom you love.
- By what you believe about Christ. The gospel.
“And though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory.” (1 Peter 1:8)
In one of the most recognizable verses of the Bible, reveals what God promises to those who belief in the truth of the gospel—
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever ‘believes‘ in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.“ (John 3:16)
“The gospel… is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (from Romans 1:16).
Non-believers don’t believe the gospel. It is a stumbling block for many and foolishness to many more.
When you hear the gospel, it is more than words—it is the supernatural power of God. The Holy Spirit is the divine messenger who takes your genuine belief and applies it as saving faith, making you alive in Christ.
2. By whom you love. Loving Jesus Christ for who He is and what He has done for you. He is the one true, sovereign God with all authority in heaven and on earth and you must surrender to His authority and will for your life and believe with all your heart that He is the Son of God who willfully died to pay the penalty for your sins and that He was raised from the dead to grant you eternal life.
You live to love Him each day with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength (Mark 12:30)— with everything you have and will obey Him faithfully, trust Him fully, and serve Him gladly.
The outcome is the salvation of your soul. Do you believe the gospel? Do you love Jesus Christ?
Read 1 John. It presents the biblical “tests of life” to distinguish between a profession of faith and the possession of faith.
The “tests of life” in 1 John can be summed up as:
- Doctrinal — Do you believe the truth about Jesus Christ?
- Moral — Do you obey God and walk in righteousness?
- Love — Do you love fellow believers?
- Spiritual — Do you have the Holy Spirit’s inner witness and assurance?
John ties it all together in 1 John 5:13:
“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.”
You simply cannot be saved and remain the same
