One of the fundamental truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ is that those who have faith in His death, burial, and resurrection, in the atoning work he completed by living a sinless life, are rescued from sin and the wrath of God. It doesn’t matter how awful you think you might be, you are never beyond the reach of the saving arm of the Lord.
In the Scriptures, we are told the story of Mary Magdalene, a prostitute who is possessed by seven demons, who is delivered from the oppression of those forces and set free from the chains of sin, brought into perfect union with God the Father by Jesus Christ. She then follows the Lord throughout the rest of His earthly ministry, dedicating herself to serving Him and His people from that day forward.
And Christ is still all about that work today, as we can clearly see in the story of influencer and former OnlyFans model Nala Ray.
According to Thrive News:
OnlyFans has emerged as a predominant form of pornography among the younger generation, leading to a cultural crisis as young women realize they can amass wealth by displaying their bodies.
Yet, amidst this, there is hope.
Former OnlyFans model Nala Ray has chosen to forsake worldly fame and fortune to follow Jesus. On her TikTok page, she chronicles the transformation in her life, transitioning from discussions about explicit content on podcasts to undergoing baptism, signifying a profound change.
Ray went on to pontificate, “The ones who are glamorizing [this lifestyle] are men trying to run women’s lives and take a percentage out of it, and it’s horrifying. It’s truly horrifying to be a woman and have men take a percentage of you showing your body on the internet. It’s just like having a pimp… It’s truly horrific that it’s being advertised in that manner, but it makes me want to fight all the more to help women understand that this is not where you want to go.”

In a video published on her social media revealed that when she was a child, her father was a pastor and she grew up in a Christian home, spending a lot of her time at church and being homeschooled. However, Ray was a bit of a wild child and got into a lot of trouble and was rebellious against her parents. She noted later that she did not understand the distinction between religious practices and cultivating a true, genuine relationship with Jesus until now.
Reflecting on her past, Ray reveals that her entry into OnlyFans was fueled by rebellion four years ago. Although she achieved great success on the platform, reaching the top .01% of creators, she now recognizes those gains as fleeting and not of divine origin but rather orchestrated by forces seeking her destruction.
The former adult entertainer went on to say that her perspective on things continued to shift after she was baptized, going on to say, “I can’t even tell you how much my life has changed since then. Everything in my life has just kind of come to this room where I can now observe it and then be like, OK, so I don’t really want to do this anymore. I knew that this isn’t what God wanted me to do with my life.”
So who was the shining light that helped Ray see through the darkness clouding her spiritual and moral vision? Her boyfriend. Ray says the man prayed for her and shared Bible verses with her, playing a critical role in her coming to true faith in Christ. In several of her more recent videos, she expresses gratitude for the redemptive love of God, explaining how insignificant her material possessions are compared to the new purpose the Lord has given her.
Having deactivated her OnlyFans account, Ray emphasizes the urgency of committing one’s life to Christ in light of impending events. She points out the signs indicating Jesus’ imminent return and encourages viewers to turn to Him before it’s too late, echoing biblical prophecies and stressing the importance of a personal relationship with God.
Nala Ray’s story underscores the truth that nothing can separate us from God’s love, reinforcing the message that salvation lies in calling upon His name.
Jesus can save anyone. All it takes is faith and repentance. An acknowledgment that our former way of life and doing things was wrong and God’s way is right. Jesus says to believe and be baptized for the remission of sins in Mark 16. If you feel the Holy Spirit convicting you, find a local church and speak with a pastor about following Christ.
