(i) Faith in Jesus as the Son of God: Jesus stated in John 3:16, "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."
Salvation begins with faith in Jesus as the Son of God, recognizing Him as the Saviour and placing trust in
Him for forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

Embracing God's love and grace: John 3:16 emphasizes God's love for the world and His
sacrificial gift of Jesus. Salvation is experienced by accepting and embracing God's love and grace
extended through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. It involves acknowledging one's need for a Saviour and
receiving the forgiveness and salvation that God freely offers.

Surrendering to Jesus as Lord: Salvation goes beyond intellectual belief; it involves surrendering
one's life to Jesus as Lord. This means submitting to His authority, seeking to follow His teachings, and
allowing His transformative work in one's life through the power of the Holy Spirit. It includes a
willingness to turn away from a life of sin and to walk in obedience to God's commands.

 father embraced him with love and joy, symbolizing the release from guilt and shame.
The father's unconditional acceptance and forgiveness brought restoration and freedom
from the burden of guilt.

or

o The story of Peter's denial and restoration (Matthew 26:69-75; John 21:15-19): After
Jesus' arrest, Peter denied knowing Jesus three times, succumbing to fear and shame.
However, after Jesus' resurrection, He sought out Peter and restored him. Through their
conversation, Jesus affirmed Peter's love and commission, washing away his guilt and
shame. Peter went on to become a significant leader in the early Christian community,
experiencing forgiveness and freedom from guilt.

or

o The story of the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11): The religious leaders brought a
woman caught in the act of adultery to Jesus, seeking to trap Him. Instead, Jesus
responded with mercy and forgiveness, challenging the accusers to examine their own
sinfulness. Jesus declared, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no
more," granting her release from guilt and shame. This encounter demonstrated Jesus'
willingness to forgive and restore, offering liberation from the weight of sin.

(c) Dear friend,

I understand that being a teenager can be confusing when you receive conflicting advice from your
parents and friends. It can feel like everyone wants you to do something different, making it difficult to
know what to do. However, I want to offer you some guidance based on the biblical teachings about
salvation, which can help you navigate this situation.

Recognize God's Love and Guidance:

In the Bible, it is emphasized that God loves you and wants what is best for you. He works through Jesus
Christ to bring deliverance and freedom from the bondage of sin. This shows that God's guidance is
rooted in love and a desire for your well-being. (John 3:16-18)

Seek Salvation through Faith in Christ:

The Bible teaches that salvation is available to all through faith in Jesus Christ. This means that by
believing in Him and following His teachings, you can experience true freedom and find guidance in
making the right choices. (Acts 4:1-12; John 3:6)
Repentance and Forgiveness:

When you make mistakes or face conflicting advice, it is important to acknowledge them and seek
forgiveness. The Bible teaches that through repentance, we can receive forgiveness and reconciliation
with God. This process allows us to grow and move forward. (Luke 7:35-50; Acts 2:37-39)

Live in Accordance with Christ's Teachings:

To navigate conflicting advice, focus on living according to the teachings of Christ. This involves loving
others, treating them with kindness and respect, and making choices that align with godly values. By
doing so, you can find clarity and make decisions that honor both your parents and your friends. (John
15:12-17)

Remember, it's natural to receive different perspectives from those around you. Seek wisdom from
God's Word through prayer and study, and ask for guidance from trusted mentors or spiritual leaders
who can provide biblical insights. Ultimately, God's love and grace will guide you through the confusion
and help you make choices that align with His will.

May you find peace and wisdom as you navigate these conflicting expectations.

Blessings,

[Your Name]
