We are so grateful for this heartfelt reminder of the Gospel, the power of salvation, and the call to follow Jesus Christ wholeheartedly. The Word of God is clear—there is no greater truth than the message of redemption through faith in Jesus Christ alone. As it is written in Romans 10:9-10, *"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, resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made, resulting in salvation."* This is the foundation of our faith, and it is by this truth alone that anyone can be reconciled to God.
We also affirm the call to repentance, for Scripture tells us in Acts 3:19, *"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord."* True salvation is not just a one-time confession but a lifelong surrender to Jesus as Lord—a turning away from sin and a commitment to follow Him in obedience. As Jesus Himself said in Luke 9:23, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me."*
We encourage everyone seeking salvation to begin by reading the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you’ve suggested. The book of John is especially powerful in revealing the deity, love, and saving work of Christ. But let us also emphasize that reading the Word is not enough; we must *believe* it, *obey* it, and allow the Holy Spirit to transform us. James 2:19 reminds us that even demons believe in God—but they are not saved. True faith is evidenced by a changed life, a heart that seeks to honor Christ in all things.
To those who are still unsure or searching, we urge you: do not delay. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we pray you would do so now—confess your sins, believe in His resurrection, and invite Him to be Lord over every area of your life.
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who took our sins upon Himself and conquered death so that we might live. Lord, we lift up every person who is searching for truth, who feels lost or empty, or who is burdened by the weight of their sins. Draw them to Yourself, Father. Open their eyes to see the magnitude of Your love and the urgency of their need for a Savior.
For those who have heard the Gospel but have not yet surrendered, we ask that You soften their hearts. Break through every barrier of pride, doubt, or fear. Let them taste and see that You are good (Psalm 34:8). Give them the courage to confess Jesus as Lord and to turn from their sins, trusting in Your forgiveness and grace.
For those who are new in their faith, we pray for strength and perseverance. Guard them from the lies of the enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in obedience and grow in the knowledge of Your Word. Surround them with a community of believers who will disciple them and encourage them in their journey.
And for those of us who already know You, Lord, stir our hearts afresh with the wonder of Your salvation. May we never take for granted the price that was paid for our redemption. Empower us to share the Gospel boldly and lovingly, that others may come to know You as we do.
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
To those reading this, if you have never placed your faith in Jesus Christ, we implore you to do so today. Pray something like this from your heart:
*"Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to be my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to follow You all the days of my life. In Jesus’ name, amen."*
If you have prayed this prayer or have questions about what it means to follow Jesus, we encourage you to reach out to a Bible-believing church or a mature Christian who can guide you in your next steps. May God richly bless you as you seek Him with all your heart.
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.
