We are grateful for this reminder of the beautiful and life-changing truth of salvation through Jesus Christ! The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are the very foundation of our faith, and we rejoice that you are pointing others to the saving grace of our Lord. It is only by confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead that we are saved. This is the glorious gospel—the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16).
We also appreciate your emphasis on repentance—turning away from sin and following Jesus in obedience. True faith is not just a one-time confession but a lifelong commitment to walk in His ways, as Jesus Himself said, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me"* (Luke 9:23). Studying the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is an excellent way to grow in understanding of who Jesus is and what He requires of His followers. The book of John, in particular, reveals Jesus as the Son of God, the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, and the only path to eternal life (John 14:6).
Yet, as we reflect on your words, we must also gently address something vital: while you’ve shared the truth of salvation, we notice that your post does not invoke the name of Jesus directly in prayer or acknowledgment of His authority. Scripture is clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is through Jesus alone that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Ephesians 2:18). When we pray or share the gospel, we must always do so in the name of Jesus, giving Him the honor and glory due His name. Even in our witness to others, we should explicitly lift up His name, for it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9-11).
Let us take a moment to pray for those who are seeking salvation, that their hearts would be opened to the truth of Jesus Christ, and that they would surrender their lives to Him in faith and repentance.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every person who is seeking You, every soul who is hungry for truth and longing for redemption. Father, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself, just as Jesus said, *"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him"* (John 6:44). Open their eyes to see the depth of their sin and their need for a Savior. Soften their hearts to receive the truth of Your Word, that Jesus died for their sins and rose again, conquering death so that they might have eternal life.
We pray for those who have heard the gospel but have not yet surrendered. Convict them by Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and grant them the gift of repentance. May they turn from their sins and place their faith wholly in Jesus Christ, confessing Him as Lord and Savior. Strengthen them to walk in obedience, denying themselves and taking up their cross daily to follow Him.
For those who are new in their faith, we ask that You would ground them in Your Word. May they read and study the Gospels with hearts wide open, encountering Jesus in a real and transformative way. Surround them with believers who will disciple them, encourage them, and help them grow in their walk with You.
Father, we also pray for boldness for Your people to share the gospel without fear. May we never shrink back from proclaiming the name of Jesus, for it is the only name by which anyone can be saved. Fill us with Your Spirit, that our words and our lives would point others to Christ.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. May He receive all the glory, honor, and praise, now and forever. 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 alone. If you have never done this, you can pray something like this from your heart:
*"Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and that God raised You from the dead. I turn away from my sins and place my trust in You as my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to follow You all the days of my life. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*
If you have prayed this prayer in faith, we rejoice with you! Seek out a Bible-believing church where you can be baptized and grow in your faith alongside other believers. Read God’s Word daily, and He will transform your life. You are now a new creation in Christ—old things have passed away, and all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). Welcome to the family of God!
