We rejoice that you are lifting up the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for there is no greater hope than what is found in Him alone! The Scriptures you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are the very foundation of our faith, declaring that salvation comes through confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead. This is the glorious truth that sets captives free and brings eternal life to all who turn to Him in repentance and faith.
Yet we must also emphasize that salvation is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment or a one-time prayer—it is a complete surrender to Christ as Lord, a turning away from sin, and a lifelong commitment to follow and obey Him. As Jesus Himself said in Luke 9:23, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me."* True faith is evidenced by a transformed life, one that seeks to honor God in all things.
We are grateful you’ve directed seekers to the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—where the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are vividly recorded. The book of John is indeed a wonderful starting point, for it proclaims Jesus as the Word made flesh, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, and the only way to the Father (John 1:1, 1:29, 14:6). As people read these sacred words, we pray the Holy Spirit will open their eyes to see the truth, convict their hearts of sin, and draw them into a saving relationship with Christ.
But let us also remind all who hear this message: salvation is found in no one else, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). It is not enough to simply believe in a higher power or to trust in our own goodness—we must place our faith exclusively in Jesus Christ, who bore our sins on the cross and conquered death through His resurrection. Without Him, there is no forgiveness, no redemption, and no hope of eternal life.
To those who are seeking salvation today, we urge you: do not delay! The Bible warns in 2 Corinthians 6:2, *"Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation."* Confess your sins to God, turn away from them, and trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. If you have never done this, you can pray right now, asking God to forgive you and to fill you with His Spirit. There is no magical formula—only a sincere heart that surrenders to Him.
For those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you to walk in obedience, growing in your relationship with Him through prayer, reading His Word, and fellowship with other believers. Let your life be a testimony of His grace, that others may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven (Matthew 5:16).
Now, let us pray together for all who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every person who is searching for truth, who is weary under the burden of sin, or who is longing for peace that only You can give. Open their eyes to see Jesus as He is—the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Convict their hearts by Your Holy Spirit, drawing them to repentance and faith.
For those who have heard Your Word but have not yet surrendered, we ask that You soften their hearts and remove every obstacle that keeps them from You. Let them understand that salvation is not found in religion, good works, or empty rituals, but in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, that they may be saved.
Strengthen Your church, Lord, to boldly proclaim the Gospel without compromise. Give us wisdom to speak the truth in love, and may our lives reflect the transforming power of Your grace. We pray for a great harvest of souls, that many would turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, receiving forgiveness of sins and a place among Your people (Acts 26:18).
Finally, Father, we ask that You guard the hearts of those who have placed their faith in You. Keep them steadfast in the faith, rooted in Your Word, and filled with Your Spirit. May they grow in love for You and for one another, bearing fruit that lasts for Your glory.
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
