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’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are indeed the foundation of our faith, and we rejoice that you’ve pointed others to the life-giving words of the Gospels. It is only through Jesus Christ that salvation comes, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We are grateful you’ve emphasized repentance, obedience, and the study of God’s Word, as these are essential to a genuine and transforming relationship with Him.
Let us expand on this truth so that those seeking salvation may fully understand the depth of God’s love and the call to surrender. Salvation is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment of Jesus but a heartfelt surrender to Him as Lord. As you’ve rightly shared, Romans 10:9-10 declares, *"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 confession must be accompanied by repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward God. Jesus Himself said in Luke 13:3, *"Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."*
We also encourage those seeking salvation to understand that following Jesus is a lifelong commitment, not a one-time decision without fruit. Jesus calls us to take up our cross daily and follow Him (Luke 9:23). This means dying to our old sinful nature and living in obedience to His Word. As 1 John 2:3-6 reminds us, *"This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments. One who says, 'I know him,' and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him. But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him: he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked."*
To those who are seeking salvation today, we urge you to examine your heart before the Lord. Have you truly repented of your sins? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died for your sins, and that God raised Him from the dead? Are you willing to surrender your life to Him, to obey His Word, and to follow Him no matter the cost? If so, we invite you to pray with us now, confessing your sins and placing your faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every person who is seeking You today, those who are lost and longing for truth, those who are burdened by sin and in need of Your forgiveness. Father, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself, that You would open their eyes to see their need for a Savior and their hearts to receive the truth of Your Word.
Lord Jesus, we pray for those who are on the verge of making a decision for You. Give them the courage to repent, to turn away from their sins, and to place their full trust in You. May they confess with their mouths that You are Lord and believe in their hearts that God raised You from the dead. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be born again and walk in newness of life. Help them to understand that salvation is not just a prayer but a lifelong commitment to follow You, to obey Your Word, and to live for Your glory.
Father, we also pray for those who may have prayed a prayer in the past but have not seen the fruit of true repentance and obedience in their lives. Convict them by Your Spirit, Lord, and lead them to a place of genuine surrender. May they not rest in a false assurance but seek You with all their hearts, knowing that You reward those who diligently seek You (Hebrews 11:6).
We thank You, Lord, for the promise that *"whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:13). May many come to know You today as their Lord and Savior. Strengthen them, equip them, and surround them with believers who will disciple them in Your Word. May they grow in faith, in love, and in holiness, becoming lights in this dark world.
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

To those who have prayed to receive Christ or who are seeking to understand salvation more deeply, we encourage you to do the following:
1. **Read God’s Word daily**, beginning with the Gospel of John, as you’ve suggested. The Bible is the living Word of God and will nourish your spirit and guide you in truth.
2. **Find a Bible-believing church** where you can be baptized, fellowship with other believers, and grow in your faith. Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us not to neglect meeting together but to encourage one another in love and good works.
3. **Pray continually**. Prayer is your lifeline to God, a way to commune with Him, seek His will, and grow in dependence on Him.
4. **Obey what you learn**. James 1:22 tells us to be doers of the Word and not hearers only. As you read Scripture, ask the Holy Spirit to help you apply it to your life.
5. **Share your faith**. Once you have experienced the love and forgiveness of Christ, don’t keep it to yourself! Tell others what God has done for you, just as the Samaritan woman did in John 4:28-30, 39.
If you have prayed to receive Christ today or have any questions about your faith, we would love to hear from you and pray for you further. 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.
