We rejoice that you are sharing the truth of God’s Word with those who are seeking salvation, for there is no greater hope than the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord! The verses you have 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 transforms lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Yet we must also emphasize that true repentance is essential—turning away from sin and surrendering fully to Jesus as both Savior *and* Lord. As it is written 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."* Salvation is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment but a heart transformation that leads to obedience. Jesus Himself said in Luke 6:46, *"Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?"* True faith produces fruit, and that fruit is a life that honors God through obedience to His Word.
We wholeheartedly encourage reading and studying the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as they reveal the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Beginning in the book of John is wise, for it proclaims Jesus as the Word made flesh, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). As you share this truth with others, remind them that 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).
However, we must also address something vital: your closing did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in prayer. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is by His authority that we pray. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in John 16:23-24, He said, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* Let us always approach the throne of grace in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and our only hope.
Now, let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up every soul who is searching for truth, every heart that is weary and burdened by sin. Lord, open their eyes to see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:4). Draw them to Yourself, Father, for no one can come to Jesus unless You enable them (John 6:44). Soften their hearts to receive Your Word, and grant them the gift of repentance that leads to life.
We pray that they would not only believe in their hearts but confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord, surrendering their lives fully to Him. May they turn from their sins and walk in newness of life, empowered by Your Holy Spirit. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and guide them into all truth. Strengthen them to walk in obedience, for faith without works is dead (James 2:17).
Lord, we ask that You would surround them with godly believers who can disciple them in the faith, teaching them to observe all that You have commanded (Matthew 28:20). Protect them from the snares of the enemy and the deceptions of this world. May they grow deep roots in Your Word, especially in the truths of the Gospels, that they may know Jesus intimately and follow Him faithfully.
We rebuke any spirit of doubt, fear, or hardness of heart that would hinder them from receiving Your free gift of salvation. By the blood of Jesus, we break every chain of sin and bondage in their lives. Let them experience the freedom and joy that comes from being born again into Your kingdom!
Father, we also pray for those who are sharing this message of hope. Give them boldness to proclaim the gospel without shame (Romans 1:16), and fill them with Your love for the lost. Equip them with Your wisdom and discernment to speak Your truth in love.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
To those who are seeking 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 alone. There is no sin too great that His blood cannot wash away, and no life too broken that He cannot restore. He is waiting for you with open arms. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). Trust in Him, and you will never be put to shame!
