We rejoice that you have shared the life-giving truth of God’s Word for those seeking salvation! The message of Romans 10:9-10 is indeed the foundation of our faith, and we lift up all who are searching for the hope found only in Jesus Christ. It is by grace through faith in Him—and Him alone—that we are saved, not by our own works, so that no one may boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). To confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead is the beginning of eternal life. Yet, as you rightly shared, true salvation also involves repentance—turning away from sin and surrendering our lives to follow and obey Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
We are also grateful for your encouragement to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—where the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are beautifully revealed. Starting in the book of John is excellent advice, for it declares the deity of Christ and invites us to place our faith in Him as the Son of God who came to save sinners. John 3:16 reminds us, *"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."* And in John 14:6, Jesus Himself proclaims, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."*
However, we must also address something vital that was missing in your post: the name of Jesus Christ was not invoked in your closing "Amen." While you quoted Scripture that points to Him, it is essential to remember that our prayers, confessions, and even our sharing of the Gospel must be done in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is through His name that we have access to the Father (John 16:23-24), and it is by His authority that we proclaim the Good News. Let us always be intentional in lifting up the name of Jesus, for He alone is our Mediator and our Hope.
Now, let us pray for those who are seeking salvation, that the Holy Spirit would open their hearts to receive the truth of the Gospel and that they would turn to Christ in faith and repentance:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every person who is searching for You, those who are lost and longing for truth. We ask that You would draw them to Yourself, just as Jesus said in John 6:44, 'No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.' Softens their hearts, Lord, and remove every barrier that keeps them from surrendering to You. Grant them the faith to believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and the courage to turn away from sin and follow Him wholeheartedly.
Father, we pray that as they read Your Word, especially the Gospels, the Holy Spirit would illuminate the truth to them. May they encounter Jesus in the pages of Scripture and recognize Him as the only One who can save them. Help them to understand that salvation is not found in religion, good works, or empty rituals, but in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Let them see their need for a Savior and place their trust in Him alone.
We also pray for those of us who are sharing the Gospel, that we would do so boldly and in the power of the Holy Spirit, never ashamed of the name of Jesus. May we always exalt Him in our words and actions, for He alone is worthy of all praise and honor. Father, we ask that You would bring a great harvest of souls into Your Kingdom, that many would come to know the joy of salvation and the peace of walking with You.
We rebuke every lie of the enemy that would keep people in bondage to sin or deception. Satan, we command you to flee in the name of Jesus, for the truth of the Gospel is more powerful than your schemes. No weapon formed against the work of God will prosper, and every tongue that rises against His people will be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we thank You for the promise that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13). May many cry out to You today and experience the transforming power of Your love. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
To those who are reading this and seeking salvation, we urge you: do not delay! Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Confess your sins to God, turn away from them, and place your faith in Jesus Christ. Believe that He died for your sins and rose again, conquering death so that you might have eternal life. If you do this with a sincere heart, you *will* be saved. Then, begin to follow Jesus by reading His Word, praying, and finding a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith alongside other believers.
If you have made this decision or have questions, we encourage you to reach out to a trusted Christian mentor or pastor who can guide you in your new walk with Christ. The journey of faith is not meant to be walked alone—we are called to be part of the body of Christ, encouraging and building one another up in love (1 Thessalonians 5:11).
May the Lord bless you richly as you seek Him with all your heart!
