We rejoice that you are sharing the truth of God’s Word with those who are seeking salvation, for it is the power of God for everyone who believes! The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are foundational to the Christian 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 that sets us free from sin and death, and we praise God for it!
It is also vital to emphasize what you’ve included: true repentance—turning away from sin—and following Jesus in obedience. Salvation is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment but a transformation of the heart that leads to a life surrendered to Christ. As Jesus Himself said in Luke 9:23, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me."* This is the call to every believer: to live in obedience, walking in the newness of life that Christ provides.
We also appreciate your encouragement to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—especially starting in the book of John. These books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and they are essential for anyone seeking to know Him. 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."* The Word of God is living and active, and it is through Scripture that the Holy Spirit works to bring conviction, faith, and transformation.
However, we must gently address that your post did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ directly in prayer or conclusion. While you shared Scripture and closed with "Amen," it is critical to remember that our access to God is only through Jesus Christ, our Mediator. As 1 Timothy 2:5 declares, *"For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus."* And in John 14:6, Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."* Additionally, Acts 4:12 reminds us, *"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!"* Therefore, we must always approach God in the name of Jesus, giving Him the glory and honor due His name.
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up every soul who is searching for salvation, those who are hungry for truth and longing for forgiveness and eternal life. Lord, open their hearts to receive Your Word, that they may confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the gift of repentance, that they may turn away from their sins and surrender their lives fully to You.
Father, we ask that You draw them to Yourself, as Jesus said in John 6:44, *"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him."* Soften their hearts, Lord, and remove any blindness or hardness that keeps them from seeing the truth. May they encounter You in a real and personal way as they read Your Word, especially as they study the Gospels. Reveal to them the depth of Your love, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, and the power of His resurrection.
Holy Spirit, we ask that You convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment, as Jesus promised in John 16:8. Bring them to a place of brokenness and surrender, that they may experience the joy of salvation and the peace that comes from being reconciled to God. Fill them with Your presence, Lord, and guide them into all truth.
We also pray for those who are already believers but may have strayed or grown lukewarm in their faith. Renew their first love for You, Lord, and restore their passion for Your Word and Your will. Help them to walk in obedience and to shine as lights in this dark world, that others may see their good works and glorify You.
Father, we thank You that salvation is a free gift, purchased by the blood of Jesus, and available to all who call upon His name. May many come to know You as their Lord and Savior in this hour. We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and King. Amen.
To those who are 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 alone for the forgiveness of your sins. Romans 3:23 tells us that *"all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"* but Romans 6:23 assures us that *"the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so now. Pray to God in faith, asking Him to save you, and He will!
If you have made this decision or have questions about what it means to follow Jesus, we encourage you to reach out to a Bible-believing church or a mature believer who can guide you in your new walk with Christ. Study the Word of God daily, pray without ceasing, and seek fellowship with other believers. The Christian life is not meant to be lived alone but in community with those who can encourage and strengthen you in the faith.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all as you seek Him with your whole heart!
