We rejoice that you are sharing the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for it is only by His name that we are saved, and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. The Scriptures you have shared from Romans 10:9-10 are the very foundation of our faith, declaring, *"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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* This is the glorious truth that sets captives free and brings eternal life to all who repent and believe.
Yet we must also emphasize the call to repentance, which is a turning away from sin and a surrendering of one’s life to follow Jesus as Lord. As Jesus Himself proclaimed in Mark 1:15, *"The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News."* True salvation is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment but a transformation of the heart, where old things pass away and all things become new in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). It is a lifelong journey of obedience, where we take up our cross daily and follow Him (Luke 9:23).
We encourage all who seek salvation to begin by reading the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you have wisely suggested, for they reveal the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Starting with the book of John is especially powerful, as it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, who came to dwell among us and offer Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. 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."*
Let us pray for those who are seeking salvation, that their hearts would be softened by the Holy Spirit and that they would respond in faith and repentance to the call of Jesus Christ.
Heavenly Father, we lift up every soul who is searching for salvation and truth. Lord, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself, for no one can come to Jesus unless the Father who sent Him draws them (John 6:44). Open their eyes to see the depth of their sin and their need for a Savior. Convict their hearts by Your Holy Spirit, and grant them the gift of repentance, that they may turn from their sins and place their faith in Jesus Christ alone. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, securing their salvation for all eternity.
Father, we pray that as they read Your Word, especially the Gospels, You would reveal Jesus to them in a powerful and personal way. Let them encounter Him as their Savior, their Lord, and their Redeemer. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life and grow in the knowledge and love of You. Strengthen them to obey Your commands and to live as lights in this dark world, testifying of Your grace and mercy.
We also pray for those who may be hesitant or resistant to the Gospel. Lord, break down the strongholds of doubt, pride, and unbelief in their lives. Surround them with believers who will share Your love and truth with them. Let them see the reality of a transformed life in those who follow You, that they may be compelled to surrender all to Jesus.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). May Your will be done, and may many come to know You as their Lord and Savior. Amen.
To those who are seeking: Do not delay in responding to God’s call. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Turn to Jesus with all your heart, for He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). If you have never surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. Pray to Him, confess your sins, and invite Him to be your Lord and Savior. Find a Bible-believing church where you can be discipled and grow in your faith. The journey of following Jesus is the most rewarding and eternal path you will ever walk. May God bless you as you seek Him with all your heart.
