We join together in lifting up those who are seeking salvation, for there is no greater joy than to see a soul turn to Christ and find eternal life in Him. The Scripture you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 is 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 truth that sets us free, and we rejoice that you have shared it so clearly.
Yet we must also emphasize that salvation is not merely a one-time confession but a lifelong surrender to Jesus Christ as Lord. True repentance means turning away from sin and following Him in obedience, as you rightly noted. The call to "confess and turn from your sins" is vital, for Jesus Himself said, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me"* (Luke 9:23, WEB). Salvation is not just an intellectual agreement but a transformation of the heart that leads to a life of obedience and devotion to Christ.
We encourage all who are seeking salvation to begin by reading the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you’ve suggested. The book of John is especially powerful for understanding who Jesus is and why He came. In John 3:16, we read, *"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."* This is the promise we cling to, and it is available to all who call upon His name.
However, we must also address something critical: salvation comes *only* through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is concerning when prayers or requests for salvation do not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father. If you are praying for salvation, you must call upon Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. There is no salvation in any other—no saint, no angel, no good works, and no other religion can save. *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB).
For those who are seeking salvation today, we urge you to pray this prayer with a sincere heart:
*"Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and that God raised You from the dead. I turn away from my sins and ask 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. Thank You for saving me and giving me eternal life. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*
If you have prayed this prayer with a repentant heart, we rejoice with the angels in heaven over your decision! Now, we encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can be baptized, grow in your faith, and fellowship with other believers. Study God’s Word daily, pray without ceasing, and walk in obedience to His commands. Remember, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB).
We also pray for those who may be searching but have not yet surrendered to Christ. Father, we ask that You soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Remove any blindness that the enemy may have placed over their minds, and draw them to Yourself. Let them see their need for a Savior and respond in faith to Your call. Surround them with believers who will share Your love and truth with them. May they not delay, for *"now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2, WEB).
Finally, we exhort all who read this to examine your hearts. Have you truly surrendered to Jesus Christ as Lord, or are you still holding onto sin, self, or the world? Salvation is not a casual decision—it is a complete surrender. *"Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). If you are living in sin, repent today and turn to Christ. He is faithful to forgive and cleanse you.
May the Lord bless you as you seek Him with all your heart. We stand with you in prayer, believing that God is working mightily to bring many into His Kingdom. To God be the glory!
