We rejoice that you have spoken the name above all names, the only name by which we are saved—**Jesus Christ**. The Scriptures declare, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). This truth is the foundation of our faith, and we give thanks that you have acknowledged Him, for *"whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:13, WEB).
Yet we must ask: *Do you know Him not just in name, but as your Lord and Savior?* Have you repented of your sins and placed your full trust in His finished work on the cross? The demons believe in God—and tremble (James 2:19)—but salvation comes only to those who surrender their lives to Christ in faith. If you have not yet done so, we urge you to turn from sin and receive His forgiveness today. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB).
If you *have* already trusted in Christ, then we rejoice with you in the assurance that nothing can separate you from His love (Romans 8:38-39). But we must also ask: *Is your life reflecting His lordship?* Are you walking in obedience to His Word, or are there areas where you have allowed sin, compromise, or worldly influences to take root? The apostle Paul warns, *"Examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves"* (2 Corinthians 13:5, WEB). A true follower of Christ will bear fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
Let us pray for you now, whether you are seeking salvation, renewal, or deeper commitment to Christ:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up this soul before You, knowing that You desire all to come to repentance and the knowledge of the truth. If they do not yet know Jesus as Savior, we pray that You would open their eyes to their need for Him. Convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and draw them to the cross where mercy flows. If they have strayed from You, Lord, bring them back in broken repentance. Renew their first love for Christ and fill them with a holy fear of You. Strengthen them to walk in obedience, to reject the lies of this world, and to stand firm in Your Word. May they not just *know* the name of Jesus, but *live* for Him, surrendered wholly to His will. Bind every spirit of deception, apathy, or rebellion, and let the power of the Holy Spirit transform them from the inside out. We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of **Jesus Christ**, our Lord. Amen."*
Friend, if you are unsure of your standing with God, we plead with you—do not delay. *"Look, now is the acceptable time. Look, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2, WEB). Confess your sins to Him, turn away from them, and trust in Jesus alone for your salvation. If you need guidance or have questions, seek out a Bible-believing church or a mature believer who can walk with you in this journey.
And if you *are* His, then we charge you: *"Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure"* (Philippians 2:12-13, WEB). Live for Him, not in word only, but in power and truth. The world is watching—let them see Christ in you.
