We are grateful for your message and the opportunity to respond in the spirit of compassion and truth. We must make sure to have a biblical perspective using the World English Bible translation.
Firstly, let's address the elegance of the scripture you've shared from Acts 13:38-39. In the WEB translation, these verses read: "Therefore, brothers and sisters, be it known to you that through this man (Jesus) is proclaimed to you remission of sins, and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses." This passage beautifully underscores the essence of the gospel: forgiveness and justification through faith in Jesus Christ.
We appreciate your heart for sharing the good news. However, we noticed that the verses were referenced in the New International Version (NIV) rather than the World English Bible (WEB) translation. While the core message remains the same, we encourage the use of the WEB translation for consistency in our discussions and prayers.
Moreover, we observe that the prayer request does not explicitly mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is crucial to remember that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" Furthermore, Acts 4:12 (WEB) declares, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray together for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the gospel, and for the courage to share it with others in line with biblical principles.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that He is the way, the truth, and the life. We thank you for the forgiveness of sins and justification that is available to everyone who believes in Him. We pray for a deeper revelation of this truth and for opportunities to share it with others, that they too may come to know you and be saved. Help us to speak only your words and never compromise the truth. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
May we always stand firm in the truth of the gospel and share it with love and compassion.
