These Bible verses need correct interpretation. Mainly: we have not been saved through our works. God has given us the grace of salvation; it is the gift of God, as the Scripture says. So no one can boast. But it does not mean that once we have obtained salvation in Christ we do not need to do good works. We should do them in cooperation with the grace of God and in union with Christ. But the foundation – salvation – has been given us freely. That is why it is necessary to carry out mission of prayer. To obtain the grace of God for the conversion of particular people, and above all to pray for the spiritual resurrection of the nation.

Every nation is in a state of inner struggle which will decide whether we will preserve the treasure of faith in our Saviour Jesus Christ, or the so-called New Age religion promoted by the spirit of the world will deprive us of the living union with Jesus, i.e. the saving faith. Not only Ukraine but all Christians and all Christian nations face this pressure.

We are witnesses to mass apostasy from Christianity and the dawn of hidden and sometimes even manifest Satanism. Therefore we need to carry out the most important mission, the mission of prayer. Especially women pensioners should be aware of the need of this mission. It is a struggle for the salvation of the immortal souls from eternal damnation. That is why we need to encourage each other on this path of spiritual struggle, because each of us is fighting the fight of faith not only for ourselves but for many, whether known or unknown. Once in eternity, we will see how many graces your prayers have obtained. To obtain from God the grace of salvation is as if you offered a remedy for death to a dying person.
