Dear Sister,
I want to share something with you and our brothers that comes from a place of deep love and concern for your eternal future. The Bible says, “We have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.” (1 John 4:14). That means Jesus was sent by God to rescue us—every one around your school—from the weight and consequences of sin and to bring us—every one around your school— back into a right relationship with Him. My message to you:
Stop Playing Church.
Stop acting like you don’t remember your upbringing in church.
Stop thinking that you don’t need to go to church.
Stop hanging out with people who don’t see the value of going to church.
Ask the Lord to lead you to the right Christian church or small group.
All of us carry things we cannot fix on our own. We make mistakes, we fall short, and sometimes we try to handle life without God. But the truth is that we all need a Savior. That is why Jesus came. Even before He was born, it was said of Him, “You shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21). His very purpose was to save.
And this gift is not limited to certain people so stop differentiating people groups. That’s an educator option, not one for God’s people and those to come. God sent Jesus for the whole world. Scripture tells us that God did not send His Son to condemn the world but to save it through Him (John 3:17). That includes you. God’s desire is not to push you away but to draw you close.
But the Bible is also clear that salvation cannot be found anywhere else. “There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12). Not good deeds, not religion, not trying harder—only Jesus can rescue and restore us.
God loves you so much that He made a way through His Son. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16).
Please don’t ignore this invitation. Call on Jesus. Trust Him as your Savior. He is ready to forgive, restore, and give you new life. I say this because I care deeply about you and want you to experience the hope, peace, and salvation that only Jesus can give.
