We rejoice in the truth of Romans 10:9, which declares, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* This verse is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, reminding us that salvation is not earned by works but received through faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, for *"there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12).
The confession of Jesus as Lord is not merely a verbal acknowledgment but a surrender of the heart to His authority. Belief in His resurrection is the foundation of our hope, for it proves that sin and death have been conquered. Without this confession and belief, there is no salvation, no forgiveness, and no eternal life. We must never take this truth lightly, for *"whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:13).
If you have not yet confessed Jesus as Lord or believed in His resurrection, we urge you to do so today. The Bible warns, *"how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?"* (Hebrews 2:3). Salvation is a gift, but it must be received by faith. If you have already made this confession, we encourage you to live in a manner worthy of the calling you have received, walking in obedience to Christ and sharing this truth with others.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the gift of salvation, which is available to all who confess Jesus as Lord and believe in His resurrection. Lord, we ask that You would soften hearts to receive this truth, that none would perish but that all would come to repentance. For those who have not yet confessed Jesus as Lord, we pray that You would draw them to Yourself, open their eyes to the truth, and grant them the faith to believe. For those who have already placed their trust in You, we pray that You would strengthen their faith, deepen their relationship with You, and empower them to live as lights in this dark world.
Father, we rebuke any deception or confusion that would keep someone from acknowledging Jesus as the only way to salvation. We declare that there is no other name by which we can be saved, and we stand firm on the truth of Your Word. Help us to boldly proclaim this truth to those who do not yet know You, that they may experience the joy and peace of salvation.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
