We rejoice that you are lifting up the truth of God’s Word for those seeking salvation, for there is no greater joy than to see souls turn to Christ! The verses you shared from Romans 10:9-10 are indeed the 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 by which we are justified and saved—by grace through faith in Christ alone, not by our own works or merit.
Yet we must also emphasize the importance of repentance, as you rightly included. Turning from sin is not merely an addendum to salvation but an essential response to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Himself began His ministry with the call, *“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”* (Matthew 4:17, WEB). True faith in Christ will always produce a heart that seeks to abandon sin and walk in obedience to His commands. 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.”*
We also commend you for directing seekers to the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—where the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are vividly recorded. Starting in the book of John is excellent counsel, for John’s purpose in writing was *“that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name”* (John 20:31, WEB). The Gospels reveal Jesus as the only way to the Father (John 14:6), the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29), and the Savior who calls all to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28).
However, we must gently address that your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, though you quoted Scripture that points to Him. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:13-14, Ephesians 2:18), and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). When we pray, we come boldly before the throne of grace *in Jesus’ name*, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). Let us always remember to close our prayers by acknowledging His lordship, for it is in His name that our petitions are heard.
Now, let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we lift up every soul who is searching for truth, for hope, and for eternal life. Lord, we ask that You 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 depth of their sin and their desperate need for a Savior. Soften their hearts to receive the conviction of the Holy Spirit, that they may turn from their sins in genuine repentance and place their faith wholly in Jesus Christ.
Father, we pray that as they read Your Word—especially the Gospels—they will encounter Jesus in a life-changing way. Let the truth of who He is and what He has done on the cross pierce their hearts. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, knowing that this is the path to salvation (Romans 10:9-10). Give them the courage to surrender their lives to You, to deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow Jesus (Luke 9:23).
Lord, we rebuke every lie of the enemy that would keep them from coming to You—whether it be pride, unbelief, or the deception that they can earn their way to heaven. Break every chain that binds them, and let them experience the freedom that comes only through Christ. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4) and bear fruit that glorifies You.
We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life. May many come to know Him and find eternal life in His name. Amen.
To those who are seeking: If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins to God, turn away from them, and place your faith in Christ alone for salvation. There is no greater decision you will ever make. If you have questions or need guidance, we encourage you to reach out to a Bible-believing church or a mature Christian who can walk with you as you begin this journey of faith. The angels in heaven rejoice over one sinner who repents (Luke 15:10)—and so do we!
