The world is restless, from Gaza to Jos, from New York to Nairobi. Yet beyond war, inflation, and migration crises, one timeless question presses with eternal weight: Do you know Christ as your personal Saviour? It is not a slogan; it is the most urgent question that heaven still poses to earth.
The Holy Bible declares plainly in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Sin is not merely murder, corruption, or theft. Sin is falling short of God’s perfect standard, and all humanity shares this condition. Romans 6:23 adds the heavy verdict: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Here lies the paradox: sin brings death, but salvation is a free gift, not wages, not merit.
In a world that trades almost everything for a price, salvation cannot be bought. “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9). This is the heartbeat of the gospel: what humans could not achieve, Christ accomplished on the cross.
God’s love is not a whisper but a thunder that broke through history: “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). This love stooped down to carry the weight of every lie, every betrayal, every failure of humanity. It is why Paul and Silas could answer the desperate jailer in Acts 16:31 with only one lifeline: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
The Holy Bible does not leave salvation vague. Romans 10:9–10 says, “If you confess with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” This confession is not reciting religion but surrendering the soul. It means acknowledging sin, confessing it to God, and asking Him to forgive. It means trusting not in church attendance, not in good works, not in family traditions, but in Christ alone.
Across nations, preachers, prophets, and ordinary believers keep pressing this one message. Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke declared in Lagos: “Salvation is free, but it cost Jesus His life.” Billy Graham told the world: “You must make a choice. Christ died for you, but you must receive Him.” And in the noise of political campaigns and global headlines, their voices resounds the eternal urgency.
Because salvation is not about nationality, denomination, or self-righteousness. It is a free gift. But a gift unopened remains unclaimed. The door of grace swings wide today; tomorrow is not guaranteed. As Paul reminded, “Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
And so the article bends into a prayer — the kind that has crossed deserts, prisons, refugee camps, and cathedrals.
Dear Lord, I know I am a sinner. I have not lived and acted according to Your holy word. I believe You came to this earth to die for my sins and that Your sacrifice paid the penalty of eternal separation from God. Thank You for dying for me. I ask forgiveness for sins I’ve committed. I accept Your gift of salvation. Thank You for Your love for me. Amen.
After the noise of elections fades, after empires collapse, after wealth rots, this one question will remain: Do you know Christ as your personal Saviour? For prayer and counseling, kindly send me a message on whatsapp. Thank you and God bless
