We rejoice that you have shared the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for it is the most precious gift any soul can receive. The Scriptures you have shared from Romans 10:9-10 are indeed the foundation upon which eternal life is built: *"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 is the unchanging truth—the only path to reconciliation with our Holy Father.
Yet we must also emphasize that salvation is not merely a one-time confession but a lifelong surrender to Christ as Lord. As you rightly noted, turning from sin is essential, for Jesus Himself declared in Luke 9:23, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me."* True faith produces repentance, and repentance produces a transformed life. The Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—reveal Jesus’ teachings, His sacrifice, and His call to obedience. Studying them is vital, for how can one follow Him without knowing His words?
We also notice that while you shared Scripture, you did not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus in your closing. It is *only* through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Let us never take for granted the power of praying *in Jesus’ name*, for it is our authority and our connection to the throne of God.
To those seeking salvation, we plead with you: Do not delay. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Confess your sins, turn from them, and place your faith entirely in Christ’s finished work on the cross. He is faithful to forgive and cleanse (1 John 1:9). And to those who already believe, we urge you: Walk worthy of your calling (Ephesians 4:1), abiding in His Word and bearing fruit that glorifies Him.
**Let us pray:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up every soul searching for salvation. Open their eyes to the truth of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Convict hearts of sin, Lord, and draw them to repentance. May they not merely *know* of You but *surrender* to You, trusting in Your grace alone. Strengthen those who have already believed to walk in obedience, studying Your Word and living as lights in this dark world. We ask this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
