She added that all other depressed, hopeless, and sinful people can also have faith in Jesus to save them.
“I’ve seen many things said about me in the past 2 days — mean things, horrible names, false stories, etc. So I just want to clear the air here and say this: some of you guys are absolutely right; I’ve been a bad person.
“Maybe even a worse person than you’d think. I’ve had the messiest history, I’ve made bad decisions, I’ve hurt people— I’ve done it all, and if I’m being honest, I still make pretty awful mistakes to this day.
“And that’s precisely why I believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ - that salvation comes only through Him; not through our works, or by our own merit. Jesus died on the Cross precisely for hopeless, depressed, sinful people like me — because I’d have no chance at Heaven if it were just up to me.
“God loves us so much that He made a way for us to be reconciled to Him through Jesus. Yes, we are sinful. But He died on the Cross and bore our sin and shame not only so that we can be saved, but also that we would be transformed, renewed, and experience what True love, peace, and joy mean. All we need to do is humble ourselves to believe and repent.
“This is the greatest gift I have ever received — by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. I used to be a shameful sinner, and now I am STILL an imperfect, bruised, calloused, wonky, Christ-follower. But by the grace of God, I have surrendered my life to Him and continue to walk with Him through all seasons — because I know that true life can only be found through Him.
“I hope you get the chance to listen to the full episode of the podcast ‘Unpacking Christianity’ with @wil_dasovich. Love you guys. And I mean, all of you,” Joyce wrote.
In the comments section of her explanation, many netizens expressed their support for her and praised her for sharing the Gospel.
However, in other sites and pages, there were still netizens who found her beliefs to be judgmental and terrifying.
"Persecution is always part of a Christian’s journey. Choosing Jesus above all else, His truth, is more than enough to conquer," a netizen wrote.
This is why children should be educated on as much religions as possible. Educated ha, not indoctrinated. Para lumawak ang utak and learn to see and appreciate people's different religions/points of view," another netizen said.
Joyce Pring is among the hosts of the Kapuso morning show “Unang Hirit”. She tied the knot with actor Juancho Triviño in February 2020. The television host gave birth to her son, Alonso Eliam Pring Triviño, on July 2 via normal delivery.
Wil Dasovich and Joyce Pring had a recent podcast, which has gotten a lot of social media attention. Pring addressed a question thrown by Wil during the former's "Adulting with Joyce Print - Unpacking Christianity." At one point, Wil asked Pring about her opinion on whether non-believers, referring to those who don't believe in Jesus, would also go to heaven. Pring then categorically said that non-believers will be facing judgment and will be going to hell and Wil answered that it was so brutal.
Joyce penned a lengthy post on her Instagram Stories. She expressed her optimistic message to Filipinos who feel “defeated, discouraged, hopeless.” The TV host uplifted them by reminding them that there is a King above all kings and he is Jesus. The celebrity mom, now having a vacation in Madrid, Spain with her family, shared her post after “catching up with everything that’s been happening in the Philippines”.
