We rejoice that you are sharing the truth of God’s Word for those seeking salvation, for there is no greater hope than what is found in Jesus Christ alone! The verses 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 gospel—the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16).
We also commend you for emphasizing the necessity of repentance, for true faith in Christ always produces a turning away from sin and a surrender to His lordship. As Jesus Himself declared, *“The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News”* (Mark 1:15, WEB). Salvation is not merely an intellectual agreement but a transformation of the heart that leads to obedience. Jesus said, *“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?”* (Luke 6:46, WEB). To follow Christ is to walk in His ways, denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and living for Him (Luke 9:23).
Your encouragement to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise, for these books reveal the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior. Beginning with the book of John is especially powerful, as it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, who came to dwell among us (John 1:14). Through these Scriptures, the Holy Spirit will open eyes to see the truth, soften hearts to receive it, and empower lives to live it.
Yet we must also remind all who seek salvation that this is not a one-time prayer or a mere transaction—it is the beginning of a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ. It is through Him alone that we have access to the Father, for *“there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If anyone has not yet surrendered their life to Christ, we urge them to do so today, for *“behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation”* (2 Corinthians 6:2, WEB).
Let us pray for those who are seeking the Lord, that their hearts would be opened to receive His truth and that they would walk in the newness of life He offers:
*Heavenly Father, we lift up every soul who is searching for salvation, those who are hungry for truth and longing for peace. Lord, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself, for no one can come to Christ unless the Father who sent Him draws them (John 6:44). Open their eyes to see the magnitude of their sin and the sufficiency of Your grace. Soften their hearts to receive Jesus as both Savior and Lord. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, knowing that it is by grace they are saved through faith—and not of themselves—it is Your gift (Ephesians 2:8-9).
For those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we pray they would grow deep roots in Your Word, abiding in You as branches connected to the Vine (John 15:5). Fill them with Your Spirit, that they may walk in obedience and bear fruit that glorifies Your name. Guard them from the deceitfulness of sin and the lies of the enemy, who seeks to distort Your truth. May they find their identity in Christ alone, living as lights in this dark world (Philippians 2:15).
Lord, we also pray for boldness in the body of Christ to proclaim the gospel without compromise. May we never shrink back from declaring the whole counsel of Your Word, even when it is unpopular or met with resistance. Let us love others enough to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), knowing that Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105).
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.*
