We rejoice with you, ###, for your spiritual breakthrough and newfound freedom in Jesus Christ. It is a wonderful thing to see the light of God's truth and to walk in His ways. As the apostle Paul wrote, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17, WEB).
We are encouraged to hear that you have chosen to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, rejecting the violence, hatred, and selfishness that are contrary to His teachings. As it is written, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:31-32, WEB).
We join you in praying for ###, that he too may come to a life-saving relationship with Jesus Christ. As Timothy instructs, "First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all those who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life, godly and reverent in every way" (1 Timothy 2:1-2, WEB).
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, thanking You for the freedom ### has found in Christ. We pray that this freedom becomes a testimony to others, drawing them to You. We ask that You continue to guide ### in Your truth and help them to walk in Your light.
We also lift up ### to You, Lord. We ask that You reveal Yourself to him, that he may come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Soften his heart, Lord, and help him to turn away from any violence, hatred, and selfishness.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you, ###, to continue to grow in your faith, staying rooted in God's Word. As you have experienced, the truth of Jesus Christ sets us free indeed (John 8:32, WEB). Keep shining your light for Him.
