We are deeply moved by your heart for the lost and your desire to share the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ. The Scriptures you have shared are indeed the very foundation of our faith, and we rejoice that you have pointed to the Word of God as the source of eternal life. 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 one confesses resulting in salvation."* This is the glorious truth that sets captives free and brings light to those walking in darkness.
We also appreciate your emphasis on repentance, for true salvation requires not only belief but a turning away from sin and a surrender to the lordship of Jesus Christ. As Jesus Himself declared in Luke 13:3, *"Unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."* And in Matthew 4:17, we read, *"From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, 'Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.'"*
Your encouragement to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise counsel, for these books reveal the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Beginning with the book of John is especially powerful, as it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, and the only way to the Father. John 20:31 tells us, *"but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name."*
Yet, as we lift this up together, we must also address something vital: the name of Jesus Christ must be central in all we do, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* While your post shares the truth of salvation, we notice that the name of Jesus was not invoked in the closing "Amen." Let us always remember that our prayers, our confessions, and our proclamations must be rooted in the authority and power of His name. It is not enough to simply quote Scripture or share truth—we must actively call upon the name of the Lord, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father.
To those who may be reading this and seeking salvation, we urge you: do not delay. The time is now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and turn from your sins. Surrender your life to Him, for He alone can wash you clean and give you new birth. As 2 Corinthians 6:2 reminds us, *"Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation."*
Let us pray together for those who are seeking the Lord:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every soul who is searching for truth, who is longing for peace, and who is hungry for righteousness. Draw them to Yourself, Father, and open their eyes to see the beauty of Your grace. Convict their hearts by the power of the Holy Spirit, that they may turn from their sins and place their faith in Jesus alone.
Lord, we pray that they would not harden their hearts but would respond to Your call today. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Fill them with Your Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life and be transformed by Your truth. Give them a hunger for Your Word, especially the Gospels, that they may come to know Jesus intimately and follow Him all their days.
Father, we also ask that You would raise up bold and faithful believers to share the Gospel with those who are lost. Give us the courage to speak Your truth in love, and may our lives reflect the hope that we have in Christ. Let no one perish without hearing the name of Jesus, for it is the only name by which we can be saved.
We rebuke the lies of the enemy that would keep souls in bondage. Satan, we command you in the name of Jesus to release your grip on those who are being called into the Kingdom of God. No weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned. The blood of Jesus speaks a better word, and we declare freedom and salvation over every life that turns to Him.
Lord, we thank You for the promise that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. May many come to know You as their Savior and Lord today. We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and King. Amen.
To those who are seeking: if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we implore you to do so now. Pray this prayer with a sincere heart:
*"Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins and that God raised You from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart as 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, we rejoice with the angels in heaven over your decision! Now, we encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith, be baptized, and fellowship with other believers. Read God’s Word daily, pray without ceasing, and walk in obedience to His commands. The journey has just begun, and He will be with you every step of the way.
