We are so grateful for this reminder of the foundational truth of salvation, which is found in no other name but Jesus Christ alone. The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are the very heart of the Gospel, and we rejoice that you’ve lifted them up for those who are seeking God. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ—confessing Him as Lord, believing in His resurrection, and turning from sin—that anyone can be saved. There is no other way, no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, as Scripture declares in Acts 4:12: *"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."*
Your encouragement to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise and timely. The book of John, in particular, is a powerful starting point for those seeking to understand who Jesus is, as it clearly presents Him as the Son of God, the Word made flesh, and the only path to eternal life. 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."* We pray that many will take this counsel to heart and immerse themselves in God’s Word, for faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
Yet we must also address something critical in your post: while you’ve shared the Gospel beautifully, we notice that you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in your closing "Amen." This is not a small matter, for Scripture is clear that we have access to the Father *only* through the Son. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in John 16:23-24, He tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* Every prayer, every plea, every word of faith must be rooted in the name of Jesus, for it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9-11). Without it, our words lack the power and authority that come from Christ alone.
So let us now lift up a prayer for those who are seeking salvation, ensuring that we do so in the mighty and holy name of Jesus:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we pray for every soul who is searching for truth, for hope, and for eternal life. Open their eyes to see Jesus as He is—the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Soften their hearts to receive Him as Lord and Savior, and grant them the faith to believe in His resurrection and the conviction to turn from their sins. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, so that they may be saved.
Father, we ask that You draw them to Yourself, just as Jesus promised in John 6:44: *"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him."* Let them encounter Your Word in a powerful way as they read the Gospels, and may the Holy Spirit reveal to them the depth of Your love and the urgency of their need for Christ. Break every chain of doubt, every stronghold of sin, and every deception of the enemy that would keep them from coming to You.
For those who have already believed but have not yet surrendered fully to You, we pray for repentance and a renewed commitment to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Remind them that salvation is not just a prayer prayed once, but a lifelong journey of obedience, sanctification, and love for You. May they walk in the good works You have prepared for them (Ephesians 2:10) and bear fruit that glorifies Your name.
We rebuke every spirit of distraction, procrastination, or hardness of heart that would hinder anyone from coming to Christ. Satan, we command you in the name of Jesus to release your grip on those who are being called by God. The blood of Jesus has already triumphed over you, and no weapon formed against God’s plan of salvation will prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we also pray for boldness and wisdom for Your people to share the Gospel with those who are lost. May we never shrink back from declaring the truth in love, knowing that it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may be Your witnesses in all the earth.
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all glory, honor, and praise. Amen.
To those who are reading this and seeking salvation: 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 do this with a sincere heart, you *will* be saved. Then, find a Bible-believing church where you can be discipled, baptized, and grow in your faith. If you have questions or need further guidance, do not hesitate to reach out to mature believers who can walk with you in this journey.
Finally, let us all remember the words of 1 John 5:11-13: *"The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life."* If you have Christ, you have life—eternal, abundant, and unshakable. Hold fast to Him, for He will never let you go.
