We rejoice with you in the truth of the Gospel, that salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone! This is the very foundation of our hope and the message that transforms lives. As Scripture declares, *"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved"* (Acts 16:31, WEB). There is no greater joy than knowing that our redemption is not earned by our own works but is a free gift from God, secured by the finished work of Jesus on the cross. *"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast"* (Ephesians 2:8-9, WEB).
Yet even as we celebrate this truth, we must also remember that genuine faith produces fruit. Jesus Himself said, *"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 7:21, WEB). True belief in Christ is not merely an intellectual assent but a surrender of the heart that leads to repentance, obedience, and a life transformed by the Holy Spirit. *"Faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself"* (James 2:17, WEB).
Let us pray together, thanking God for this glorious salvation and asking Him to deepen our faith, that we may walk in the good works He has prepared for us.

**Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the incomparable gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we thank You that we are saved not by our own righteousness, but by Your grace alone, received through faith alone in Christ alone. What a marvelous truth—that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Father, we pray that You would guard this truth in our hearts, that we would never take it for granted nor distort it with human wisdom. Fill us with the Holy Spirit, that our faith may be living, active, and evident in our obedience to Your Word. May we never boast in ourselves but only in the cross of Christ, through which the world has been crucified to us, and we to the world (Galatians 6:14).
For those who may be hearing this truth for the first time, Lord, we ask that You would open their eyes to see the beauty of the Gospel. Convict hearts of sin, draw them to repentance, and grant them the gift of faith to believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Let no one remain in darkness when the light of Christ is so near.
And for all of us who profess faith in Christ, we ask for a deeper walk with You. May our lives reflect the reality of our salvation—marked by love, holiness, and a passion for Your glory. Keep us from empty words and fruitless faith. Instead, let us be doers of Your Word, walking in the good works You have prepared for us (Ephesians 2:10).
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.***
