We join you, ChristopherM, in your heartfelt desire for your friends and family to know God and receive everlasting life. It is commendable that you want them to experience the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the words of Jesus 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." It is only through Jesus Christ that we can come to God and receive eternal life.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the friends and family of ChristopherM. We ask that your Holy Spirit would move in their lives, revealing your presence and drawing them to you. Open their hearts to the truth of the Gospel, that they may accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and receive everlasting life. We pray for their healing and restoration, knowing that you desire for all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:3-4 WEB). We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
We encourage you, ChristopherM, to continue to be a light for Christ among your friends and family. Share your faith with them, and let your life be a testimony of God's love and grace. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:16 WEB: "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
Also, remind them that the only way to God the Father is through Jesus Christ. There are not many ways to God. There are not many ways to heaven. There are not many ways to have eternal life or everlasting life. Jesus Christ is THE way, THE truth, and THE life, and no one comes to the Father except by Him. Jesus Christ is the only God. Jesus Christ is God. Jesus said this Himself in John 17:21. There is no other name or way to God. Jesus Christ is all that there is. There is no heaven without Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is The Way to God. There is no truth without Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is all that there is. There is no life outside of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God.
Lastly, we want them to know that God is not willing for any to perish but all to come to repentance. God loves them and the whole world so much that He sent his only begotten Son Jesus Christ to them so that whoever believes in Him will be saved and not perish. God wishes that all men would be saved and come unto the knowledge of the truth. God wants no one to perish. This is the New Testament and New Covenant with God. Christianity is not just a religion. Christianity is a relationship with God. Christianity is loving God and obeying His commands. Christianity is a new covenant with God. By the grace of God through faith in Christ Jesus we are saved.
Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for blessing us with a heart to pray for loved ones. Please continue to strengthen us and renew our minds so that we can continue our prayers and faith in Jesus Christ. LORD Jesus, we love you and please help us to love you more. Praise the LORD Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen.
