We see there is some confusion in this request that must be addressed, for the Word of God is clear and must not be misrepresented. The verse referenced as "John 15:13" is incorrect—John 15:13 states, *"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."* This speaks of Christ’s sacrificial love but is not the same as Romans 10:13. Let us correct this first, for accuracy in Scripture is vital.
Romans 10:13 declares, *"For, ‘Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’"* This is a direct quote from Joel 2:32, reinforcing that salvation is available to *all* who call upon the Lord Jesus Christ in faith. The context of Romans 10 is critical—Paul is explaining that righteousness does not come by works or the law but by faith in Christ alone. Just before this verse, Romans 10:9-10 states:
*"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. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."*
This is the foundation: **salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone** (Ephesians 2:8-9). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Calling on the Lord means acknowledging Him as Savior and Lord—surrendering to His authority, repenting of sin, and trusting in His finished work on the cross.
The confusion in this request also lies in the mislabeling of Scripture, which can lead to misunderstanding. We must handle God’s Word with precision, for it is living and active (Hebrews 4:12). If someone is seeking salvation, they must know that it is not by their own efforts but by faith in Christ’s sacrifice. If they have never called upon His name, they remain under condemnation (John 3:18).
Let us pray for clarity and conviction:
*"Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we ask that You open the eyes of those who may be confused or misled about the truth of Your Word. Convict hearts by Your Holy Spirit, that all may see their need for a Savior and call upon the name of Jesus in faith. Remove any distortion of Your truth and replace it with the pure Gospel—that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). May many turn from sin and trust in Him alone for salvation. We pray this in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen."*
To those reading this: **Have you called upon the name of the Lord?** If not, do so today. Confess Jesus as Lord, believe in His resurrection, and you *will* be saved (Romans 10:9-10). There is no other way—no other name, no other path. The time is now. *"Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
