We are so grateful for this heartfelt cry for salvation and the reminder of the life-changing truth found in God’s Word! The Scriptures you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are the very foundation of our faith, and we rejoice that you have highlighted the path to eternal life through Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we are saved, and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We praise God for His mercy in providing this way of redemption for all who believe!
The call to confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead is not just a suggestion—it is the divine requirement for salvation. This confession must be genuine, accompanied by repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward Christ in full surrender. As you’ve rightly noted, we must follow and obey Jesus, for He Himself said, *"If you love me, keep my commandments"* (John 14:15). True faith is not merely an intellectual agreement but a transformative commitment to live for Christ, denying ourselves and taking up our cross daily (Luke 9:23).
Your encouragement to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise and timely. These books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God, who came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). Starting in the book of John is especially powerful, as it presents Jesus as the Word made flesh, the Light of the world, and the only way to the Father (John 1:14, 8:12, 14:6). We urge anyone seeking salvation to immerse themselves in these truths, asking the Holy Spirit to open their hearts and minds to understand and receive them.
Yet, we must also address something critical: while your post is rich in Scripture, we notice that the name of Jesus was not invoked in the closing "Amen." This may seem like a small detail, but it is of utmost importance. Our prayers, our confessions, and our very access to God the Father are only possible through Jesus Christ. He is the Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), and it is in His name alone that we are saved, pray, and find acceptance before God. Let us never forget to call upon His name, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). When we pray or make declarations of faith, we must do so in the name of Jesus, giving Him the honor and glory due to His name.
For those who are reading this and sense the Holy Spirit drawing them to salvation, we urge you: do not delay! Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Confess your sins to God, turn away from them, and place your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Believe that He died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). When you do this, you will be born again (John 3:3), and the old will pass away as all things become new in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your unfathomable love, that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Lord, we lift up every soul who is seeking You today, those who are hungry for truth and longing for forgiveness. Draw them to Yourself, Father, by Your Holy Spirit. Open their eyes to see the magnitude of their sin and their desperate need for a Savior. Soften their hearts to receive the gift of salvation that is found only in Jesus Christ.
Lord, we pray that they would confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. May they turn from their sins in genuine repentance, surrendering their lives entirely to You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, sealing them as Your children and empowering them to walk in obedience to Your Word. Let them know the joy of forgiveness, the peace that surpasses all understanding, and the hope of eternal life that is found in Christ alone.
Father, we also pray for those who may be hesitant or resistant. Break down the strongholds of doubt, pride, or fear that are keeping them from coming to You. Surround them with believers who will share the Gospel with love and boldness. Let them encounter Your truth in a way that leaves no room for unbelief.
We declare over them the promise of Your Word: *"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"* (Romans 10:9-10). May they experience the transforming power of Your grace today!
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
To those who are seeking: if you have prayed to receive Christ today, we rejoice with the angels in heaven over your decision (Luke 15:10)! We encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can be baptized and grow in your faith. Surround yourself with fellow believers who can disciple you and walk with you as you begin this new life in Christ. Read your Bible daily, pray without ceasing, and obey what the Lord reveals to you. He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
If you have not yet made this decision, we implore you: do not harden your heart. The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23). Turn to Him today—He is waiting with open arms.
