The Power of a Personal Encounter with Jesus

Written By Lettie Henley

“Then he brought them out and asked, ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ They replied, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.’ And they shared the word of the Lord with him and with all who lived in his household. Even at that hour of the night, the jailer cared for them and washed their wounds. Then he and everyone in his household were immediately baptized.” - Acts 16:30-33

He believed in Jesus, and immediately, his life was transformed. His family was baptized, and their hearts were awakened to the hope of true salvation, an eternal life rooted in Jesus’s love and mercy.

Salvation isn’t complicated, it's coming to Jesus with an open heart and believing in His power to save. When you encounter Jesus, really encounter Him, your life is forever changed. Salvation is about more than just a prayer; it’s about surrendering your heart to His love and walking in newness of life.

If you haven’t yet, open your heart to Jesus today. Ask, “Lord, what must I do to be saved?” Trust that His answer is simple, believe in Him, and your life will be transformed. His Spirit will wash away your sins, renew your heart, and lead you into a life of purpose, hope, and eternity with Him.

Pray honestly: “Jesus, I believe in You. Save me, forgive me, and fill my life with Your love.” Share your testimony; your “life-changing” encounter, so others may see the power of Christ to transform lives. Let your faith be a living testimony, walking daily in the new life He has given you.

God’s power to save is for you. When you believe in Jesus, you step into a journey of grace that transforms you from the inside out, making you part of His eternal family.

Prayer:

Father, I thank You for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Help me to truly believe in You, to accept Your love fully, and to walk in the newness of life. Use my life to bring others to You, so they too may experience the life-changing power of Your salvation. Thank You for loving me and saving me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
